Do students who understand a math idea quickly sometimes give incomplete explanations in a math discussion and then perhaps don’t focus on understanding other powerful strategies? Do other students with interesting ideas sometimes have trouble infusing themselves in the conversation and then get left behind?

In this Readers’ Theater students see how children learn to work more cooperatively by sharing their understanding more completely and learning from each others’ ideas. As your students take on the roles in this script, they see ways to create different types of division story problems, use the relationship between multiplication and division, and interpret remainders.
