How to use it
- Post the steps (divide, multiply, subtract, bring down) where everyone can see them.
- Ask kids to check two answers with multiplication before they hand it in.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Kids who skip the subtract step in long division and lose track. Have them say each step out loud.
Talk about it
