Long Division - Step by Step

Long Division - Step by Step

(0)
For students who are either just getting started with the long division process or with students who are struggling with the process. The example shows a double digit dividend being divided by a single digit divisor. The final answer does have a remainder. The fold-up breaks the process down into six steps: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down (repeat if needed), remainder and check. The steps are listed and a visual representation is shown. The fold-up will fit nicely in a math journal (just trim on the grey line for a better fit). In addition, I decided to create a one page handout (handout is the one without the dotted cut lines) of the steps. My thinking is that this particular information might be a better resource without the flaps.

This Place Value chart contains Millions thru Thousandths place value. Each page contains 2 charts. I like to laminate several of these for use in small groups or at centers. Students can write and wipe various numbers for place value practice. I hope you enjoy this free printable.

Integer Rules: Fold-Up Resource & More

(1)
Integer Rules resource for students and parents! This fold-up resource provides students with the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers. Included in this packet is a four-flap fold-up. The fold-up explains the rule for each operation and provides examples of each. The teacher has two options for the inside of the fold-up. One option is completely filled in. The second option has empty example boxes for the students to fill in with problems of their own. To assemble the fold-up, run a copy of the outside (p.3). The outside will appear to be upside-down. This is done intentionally for a proper fold-up. Next, choose the inside (either p. 4 or 5) and run it on the backside of the outside. Next, with the inside face up, bring the bottom of the page up to the center black line and fold. Then, bring the top of the page down to the center black line and fold. Finally, cut on the 2 dotted lines. The end result should be a four-flap fold up. I have also included to 2-sided worksheet to use with students. Also, included is an answer key.

My Turn to Learn QR Code Task Cards: Two-Digit Long Division with Remainders

(0)
Turn to Learn task cards are fun to use because students love using a QR code reader to check their answers. This product contains: • 24 Task Cards. Each card has a two-digit long division problem. Note that the quotients will have remainders. • 24 cards with a corresponding QR code. The QR codes are the answers to the problems. • 2-sided workspace recording sheet that students can use to solve the problems. Students needing more space will have to use their own paper. • Traditional answer key for those not wanting to use the QR code component.
Finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) Pack

Finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) Pack

(0)
Students use the "M" method when finding the LCM! Each year my 5th grade students always confused Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor. In an effort to help them keep the two straight, I try to make the way I present one very different from the way I present the other. For LCM, I use what I call 'The M Method'. Using a large M as a visual greatly helps my students distinguish between LCM and GCF. I created this pack to introduce the method to my students. The pack includes a LCM matchbook fold-up. A poster, a half sheet copy of the poster for a student resource and a two page worksheet. This pack INCLUDES the Least Common Multiple Poster, which is listed separately in my shop. If you buy this, there is no need to purchase the visual. To learn how to print a poster visit my Making Posters blog post. When assembling the matchbook fold-up, run a two-sided copy--the front cover (upside down intentionally for easier copying) and the inside. With the inside facing you, bring the top of the paper down to the bottom horizontal line and fold. Then bring the bottom of the paper up and fold on the bottom horizontal line. The result will look like a giant matchbook.

Flip for Math: Step-By Step Flip Books for Long Division - Set of Three Books

(0)
Send this step-by-step guide home with long division homework! The purpose of a ‘We Flip for Math’ Flip Book, is to provide a struggling student witha step-by-step guide to take them through the process they are struggling with. I have various flip books available in my classroom, but only after I’ve taught the concept and we have practiced it a number of times. The complexity of some skills can be quite challenging for many students. Being able to remember all the steps can become overwhelming for some. A flip-book can help walk these children through the process. In addition, I have found flip-books can be helpful when sending homework home . Including a flip book can make for very happy parents! This packet contains three flip-books. • Single Digit Divisor Long Division, • Double Digit Divisor Long Division • Dividing BIG Numbers. BIG Numbers shows dividing a four digit dividend by a two digit divisor. While not the biggest of numbers, to a 5th grader, this is a BIG division problem. Not wanting to waste paper, I included several division problems students could use as practice problems. These problems can be found on the final page of the BIG Numbers Long Division book. These 3 cards, could be laminated and placed at a center. While working the division problems, the flip book could be used as a reference. To assemble each Flip Book simply run single-sided copies of all pages. Laminate for durabillity. Cut on the dotted line. Put the pages in sequential order-- cover should be on top. Bind or staple (binding works best) across the top!

Students love fold-ups! This product includes: • A six flap fold-up that classifies triangles by their angles (right, acute and obtuse) and by the length of their sides (equilateral, isosceles and scalene). A definition and a visual representation is given of each. • This product also includes two 2-sided practice pages and answer keys. Always make a test copy before copying for your students to make sure the cover and inside fold up properly. Note that the cover is intentionally upside down for easier printing.

The Less Paper Classroom: Multiply a Fraction & a Whole Number

(0)
I began creating the Less Paper Classroom product line after seeing a need for a true digital product I could use in my own classroom. I believe being completely paperless is an unfair expectation for any classroom, I do believe, however, that using less paper can be achieved, and this product is designed to allow the teacher to do just that. This product includes 25 full page PDF solve cards. Each solve card features a multiplication equation (a fraction times a whole number). In addition, each solve card is followed by a full page PDF check card. Each check card features a large QR code, which should be able to be scanned from anywhere in the room if projected on a classroom display screen. Once scanned, the QR code reveals the correct answer. Also included is a traditional recording sheet and a traditional answer key. One huge benefit of a less paper product, is that after downloading the classroom teacher has literally no prep at all. How cool is that? The zip file contains several different file formats. Choose the one that best suits the many ways you plan to use them: Both Solve and Check Cards, Solve Cards Only, Check Cards Only. I have also included a page describing several ways I have used these cards in my room. While this product was designed to be used on a tablet, iPad or projected on a classroom display like a mimeo or a smart board, you could certainly print it out and use it in a more traditional way if you like. Be sure to check out my blog to read posts about my journey to becoming a Less Paper Classroom and watch for additional "The Less Paper Classroom" Products arriving in my store soon!
