A fun rhyming way to help students remember the steps for long division.
Teaching Tip: Comparing the answer after subtracting to the dividend is a step often forgotten by students but its important they compare becuase it helps them find errors and see the logic behind the steps. If the number is larger then the divisor then they have not chose a quotient/answer close enough to the dividend. They should always arrive at a smaller number.
Can't wait to make them. Thank you!

I have taught elementary school for 8 years with the majority of my experience in teaching 3rd grade in an urban setting with a majority of bilingual students. I speak some Spanish so I am better able to communicate with the parents of my students. I have also taught for one year each in 2nd and 4th along with sub experience in grades 1st & 5th as well. Currently alongside teaching third grade I am a mentor to new teachers as well as a workshop presenter on topics including Reading Strategies, Math Interventions, Classroom Management and Technology in the Classroom. I've also worked with children from infant to 18 years in other settings including early childhood development centers, after-school programs, summer camps, at-risk youth programs, juvenile detention centers and Special Olympics.
