What kids do

“Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down. Write any remainder with an R.”

Teacher tip

Graph paper keeps the long division columns neat.

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

  • Is it sharing (how many each) or grouping (how many groups)?
  • 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.
