What kids do

“How many whole groups? What is left over? Write the answer with an R.”

Teacher tip

Use real counters for the first two problems. The leftover cubes make the remainder concrete.

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

  • How do you know your answer is reasonable?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Share a bag of crackers fairly in small groups and record the division sentence.
