What kids do

“Start at the big number. Hop back to 0 in jumps of the divisor. How many jumps did you make?”

Teacher tip

Jumping back to zero shows division as repeated subtraction. Ask kids to count the jumps out loud.

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

  • What does the remainder mean in this problem?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Write a division story where the remainder changes the answer, like buses for a field trip.
