Even students who are able to divide accurately often struggle when presented with a story problem in which the remainder must be considered. Display this poster as a reference for students as they work to interpret the remainders in various contexts. This poster is an excellent resource to be used all year long. Multiple uses for this product. Formatted to print as an 11X17 poster (I printed mine at a local print shop for a very reasonable price), it is colorful, attractive and visible from

Provide your students with many opportunities to practice solving division problems in which the remainder must be considered. (1) Use only the remainder (2) Ignore the remainder (3) Add one to the quotient (4) Share the remainder as a fraction or decimal (5) Determine the missing amount Included in this file are 30 division story problems that require the students to select an appropriate method for handling the remainder. Students will not be calculating the solutions to the division proble

This activity provides students with an opportunity to develop a 2-dimensional model of the eight major planets. Students will use Earth as the “unit” to approximate the diameters of the other planets, ultimately developing their own scale model (accurate for size but not for distance). Upon completion, students will have a better appreciation of the sizes of the planets in relation to one another. In addition, students will apply their math skills to calculate the diameter of each model in inch

Looking for a fun way to review important math computational skills? These Tangram Puzzles motivate students to practice without the monotony of another “skill and drill” worksheet. Students solve the problems so they can put each puzzle together, revealing the shape. Use them as a math center, a review activity, a challenge task, or for early finishers. KIT INCLUDES: 12 Tangram Puzzles (each for a different skill) 2 Student Recording Sheets (optional) Open-Ended Extension Activity (create a p
