 Happy summer, everyone! The Brick Math Lesson of the Month for July 2025 is on Partitive Division, which means dividing into equal shares. To get this lesson, click here, and you'll also get a new free Brick Math lesson every month after that. Partitive division is the kind of division that takes a whole and breaks it into equal parts. It's a great introduction to fractions as well as division.  In this lesson, the concept of division is presented as a real-world problem: sharing pieces of candy equally among friends. The bricks, with their easy-to-count studs, make it clear how many pieces will be in each group, as well as how many groups will be created. This is one of the most basic ideas in learning division, and it is illustrated so well using bricks! This Lesson of the Month shows pages from the Division Teacher Edition first, and then shows the corresponding workbook pages for students to use from the companion Division Student Edition. Students move from a concrete representation of the math to a more abstract representation by drawing the models, then finally to a fully abstract understanding of the math when they describe it in words. In this way, Brick Math helps students gain a deep, true understanding of math, which sets them up for future success as they move through the K-8 curriculum.  The Brick Math curriculum is divided into 13 separate content areas: Counting, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Basic Fractions, Basic Measurement, Fraction Multiplication, Fraction Division, Advanced Measurement and Geometry, Decimals, Data and Statistics, and Pre-Algebra.  Students can start anywhere in the curriculum. Brick Math can be used as a complete math curriculum or brought in as a supplement to help students who aren't having math success with other programs.
