Re: Level E, Lessons 122 and Beyond

Hi, Lori. My name is Rachel with RightStart and yours is a great question! I contacted Dr. Cotter to get her perspective - answer:-) - for your question. Here is what she wrote:

'First I must apologize to discover there are errors on page 245.

For the first problem on page 245, the thought process goes like this: To find the trial quotient, divide 29 by 4 [ 7 ]. Next to check if 7 will work, divide 290 by 7 [ 41 ] Yes, it works. (Had it been less than 41, we would have had to try 6 as a trial quotient.) So multiply and subtract.

To find the next trial divisor, divide 33 by 4 [ 8 ]. [ 41 ] Yes, it works. Again, multiply and subtract.

It is not necessary to write the division results shown grayed, but it might be helpful for awhile.

I hope this helps.

I also wanted to forward to you the 'corrections' link. When users send in a correction, RightStart changes the manuals/worksheets so they are printed correctly from that point on. In addition, they list the corrections on the website. Feel free to check it at any time. Here is the link: http://www.alabacus.com/pageView.cfm?pageID=304.
