Long division mini unit lesson plans, activities and worksheets
Do you find teaching long division to be difficult and frustrating for you and your students? Do you find that there are just too many hands up with questions like "I forget how to do it," and "What do I do now?" or "I can't do this." I have found that most math books don't spend enough time breaking the steps for long division down into manageable pieces. So I've created a long division mini unit with different activities that spreads out the skills and process over a period of 5 days. Thi

These division task cards help children practice dividing up numbers into equal groups visually, and generate number sentences from their models. Simply laminate the task cards, and students can make several attempts at dividing the number. For kids who are afraid to make mistakes on paper and hate erasing, using markers that they can wipe off can make all the difference in their risk taking and learning. This product contains:✅ 18

Long Division Task Card Centers Bundle of 3
If you are teaching long division, you probably know that the algorithm is like a foreign language to most kids, because there are so many steps, and the concept is abstract. They may need practice in the act of actually physically dividing a large amount into smaller, equal groups. Check out these 3 sets of task cards that are differentiated for learners at 3 levels. ❶ Estimating Long Division Task Cards (Activity 1)This activity worked well for me during a unit on estimating, before actua

Power of Ten Place Value Card Game
This is a simple, fun card game that will help reinforce the concept behind the place value chart for your fourth graders. I developed this game because my fourth graders were having a hard time explaining WHY we regroup, even though it's something we practice daily on a place value chart. This game isolates the skill of multiplying by 10 or 100 and finding the resulting place value. This game has 3 levels (places to the millions, ten thousands, or hundreds) to help you differentiate for studen

Greatest Common Factor Game
Do your students need extra practice finding factors? Finding factors is a great way to extend students' learning of division. However once they learn multiples, they seem to always confuse the two! (and they're taught within the same week, this is unavoidable!) Help them get the extra practice with factors as well as finding the greatest common factor with this simple partner card game. You can even save the game for review once you teach Lowest Common Denominators in your equivalent fracti

Lattice Multiplication Task Cards
Are you looking for a new way to teach multiplication? Have you started lattice with your students and need a fun way to practice multiplying that doesn't involve worksheets? Often times, kids prefer to use dry erase markers because they don't worry as much about making (and therefore fixing) mistakes. For those students, these lattice multiplication task cards are perfect for learning centers. Just laminate, cut, and provide dry erase markers. Each card has step by step directions

About the store
Experience
I have taught fourth grade for 9 years in public school and third grade in a charter school for 3 years. Prior to my full time teaching career I was a paraprofessional for a teacher of the deaf for grades 1 and 2 for a year, and a preschool teacher for 2 years.
Teaching style
I am pragmatic so I can meet the needs of my students. I teach my fourth graders about working in groups so they can learn social skills as well as academics. I enjoy the balanced literacy reading and writing program. Some experts who have influenced me are John Collins and Lucy Caulkins. In math I use a combination of note taking and math games to promote understanding of vocabulary and principles as well as practice for applying skills. My district has also recently adopted the Math In Focus (Singapore Math) program. In science and social studies I teach research skills to enhance students' writing as well as reading to learn new information since.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was awarded grant money that funded the purchase of science materials for 6 classrooms at my school in October of 2012.
My own education history
Bradford College: BA in Psychology, minor in Education;

Additional biographical information
I have served on district-wide literacy and science curriculum committees for several years. I have served on school-wide literacy team for several years. I also served as the Second Step (emotional curriculum) school-wide lead teacher.
