What kids do

“Check each answer: quotient × divisor + remainder. Does it make the dividend? Circle right or wrong.”

Sample problems

  • 8×6+0 =
  • 6×9+4 =

Teacher tip

Ask kids to fix each wrong answer, not just circle “wrong”.

How to use it

  • Remind kids that every division fact has a multiplication partner, and say a few pairs out loud first.
  • Let kids use counters and paper plates for the first few problems.
  • Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.

Watch for

Remainders bigger than the divisor. That means one more group fits.

Talk about it

  • What multiplication fact helped you with this one?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Have kids make their own division wheel or fact triangle for a partner.
