Description

Would you like to introduce the box method/ area method of long division to your students? If so, this 86-slide PowerPoint may be exactly what you are looking for! It is fully animated. Answers do not appear on the screen until the teacher clicks the mouse.

This Long Division PowerPoint is highly interactive. It begins with a review of division terms (dividend, divisor, and quotient). After the introduction section, several practice opportunities are presented. Seven problems involve a three-digit dividend, and two problems have a four-digit dividend. Ample support is provided in the form of animated text boxes and answers that do not appear until the teacher has provided wait time so that students can determine what they think should appear in the box following each prompt. (The PowerPoint is also fully animated, so that answers do not appear on the screen until the teacher has clicked the mouse.)

PowerPoints filled with visuals are ideal for teaching new content to students because PowerPoints tend to be highly engaging and concepts can be easily broken down into understandable chunks of information. But let's face it... they are so time-consuming to create! Fortunately, now you have an option of using one that is already complete, kid-tested, and ready to go for you!

This file also contains a 2-page PowerPoint companion handout. Students can write on their handout, recording answers, as you progress through the PowerPoint.

Check out the PREVIEW!! (Please remember, though, that the purchased PowerPoint will be animated.)

Please note: You DO have my permission to convert this PowerPoint to Google Slides, and to share it with your students via Google Classroom. (A Google link is not provided, but you may upload the PowerPoint to Google yourself, if you wish.)

Also, the PowerPoint cannot be edited due to the copyright requirements made by the contributing artists (clip art, font, backgrounds).

I utilized this introduction to this method before moving to teach them how to do it with the two digit divisors. The box method always confused me, but this actually made it pretty easy for me to understand how it worked, so I told the kids that I was teaching, but also learning it right along with them. It made it easier to talk about what they did and didn't understand because I felt like I had some of the same thoughts myself at first!
