This product will be helpful for teachers of grades 4 whose students are learning alternative algorithms for use when completing long division word problems or computation sets. The sheet is meant to be used for modelling ONE problem with 4 different algorithms. To use the area model and box method algorithms, students will have to rotate their papers. On the second page, a sample problem is demonstrated with each algorithm.

I would suggest working out a problem with each algorithm on your own before utilizing this recording sheet with students. Also, it could be used on subsequent days - using 1 algorithm each day (for the same problem) until the sheet has been filled in.
