Who says you can't be constructivist in math class? Let your students see how they solve these journal entries and have them share their strategies. Help them construct an understanding of what is happening during division. The students will benefit from seeing that, even though there is only one right answer, there are many paths through mathematical thinking. Journaling in math empowers students to tackle problems even if they don't know the exact mathematical approach.

Included are two 20 minute, division-inspired journal entries. One helps students construct an understanding of division and one sparks deep problem solving. Need more entries? Check our bundle here Math Journal Bundle.
