Use this simple graphic organizer to help your students explain their reasoning when using a traditional algorithm.
Easy and effective!
I have included 3 student samples when assessing understanding of long division.
I have my students complete one of these graphic organizers before I have them produce a lengthier explanation using an iPad presentation application such as Explain Everything.
See my blog for more details on how I use this in my class.
