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.

Perfect for a math journal! This Numerical Expressions Tri-Fold Up will fit nicely in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. The cover of the tri-fold is intentionally upside down for easier assembly. I would recommend running just one copy to make sure it folds up properly, before running multiple copies. Included with this product: • A definition of what a numerical expression is as well as what it means to evaluate a numerical expression. • Examples accompanied by a 'think aloud' script to demonstrate how to write a numerical expression from a given 'story'. • 2-sided practice page, as well as answer key.

Goal Setting and Tracking Pack for Accelerated Reader

Goal Setting and Tracking Pack for Accelerated Reader

(1)
Note: This product is designed to be used in a classroom in which the school year is divided into quarters (1st quarter - 4th quarter). This product is a companion to Accelerated Reader program which is used in many classrooms. This product contains: 4 Goal Setting Sheets (one for each quarter). Goal Setting Parent Signature Sheet. Weekly Goal Tracking Sheet. To use this product, students set their goals for the appropriate quarter. I recommend they use their previous grade’s information to aid their decision for the first quarter. Once they’ve chosen their goals, they record them by both writing the number and coloring the graphs on the goal setting sheet. Students also record their goals on the goal setting half sheet and take home for a parent signature. Throughout the quarter, students check and record their progress on a weekly basis. At the end of the quarter, I distribute their original goal sheet and they 'star' those goals they met.

Note this product is part of a "Bundled For Savings" pack. Be sure to check out Bundled for Savings: Science Experiments for the Teacher Who Doesn't Like Teaching Science to purchase all FOUR sets of this product at a substantial savings! Yes, that's me...an elementary teacher who is not fond of teaching science. I know there are many of you out there, because I hear it from my colleagues all the time. I can't tell you how many science experiments I've had kids do that were total and complete flops over the years. Oh...and if you LOVE teaching science...you will find these experiments useful too! Finally, after 24 years of teaching, I have found tried and true experiments that the kids love, are easy to do, and actually work! This packet contains 5 easy investigations. The materials needed are easy to come by and inexpensive. I did not come up with these experiments myself, nor do I claim to. I have just compiled them onto easy to use sheets for students. Each experiment is described in detail on the front side and the backside provides students with space to record their observations. In addition, I have included an easy explanation of each experiment. The experiments include: Climbing Colors - A chromatology experiment. Materials needed include a washable colored marker, coffee filter, small plastic cup, water, measuring cup, scissors, and a ruler. Magic Milk - A color reaction experiment. Materials needed include whole milk, dinner plate, food coloring, Dawn dish detergent, and cotton swabs. Muscle Sand - A forces experiment. Materials needed include a paper towel cardboard tube, sand, tissue paper, rubber band, and a wooden dowel (12 inches long). Up, Up & Away - A chemical reaction experiment. Materials needed include a small uninflated balloon, small funnel, empty plastic water bottle, baking soda, vinegar, measuring cup (1/2 cup), and a measuring spoon (tablespoon) Hip Clip - A surface tension experiment. Materials needed include 2 clean, dry medium-size paper clips, 2” by 3” piece of tissue paper, bowl, water, and a pencil with an eraser.

My Turn to Learn Task Cards: Two-Digit Long Division without Remainders

(1)
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 card with a two-digit divisor long division problem without 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. To Assemble: Print off all task card problems. Then print the QR codes on the back side. Be sure the Question numbers match up. I like to run task cards on card stock and laminate for durability. Cut on dotted lines. Put cards in sequential order, with cover and directions on top. The margin on the left side of each card is for binding (or hole punch). I prefer to bind. How to Use: Students use the 2-sided workspace recording sheet to solve each of the 24 questions. Students then use a QR reader to check answers as they go or after they’ve finished a predetermined amount of questions. Check out my "Stimulating Motivation with QR Codes" blog post regarding how to assemble and use this product.
