keeping elementary simple

No prep activity to help early elementary students understand and practice the commutative property of addition! All you need is dice and printed copies of the worksheet. Students will roll two dice, find the first sum, and then switch the order of the addends to demonstrate understanding of the commutative property. Fun for students, easy for teachers!

Students become the teachers in this long division practice activity. Students create their own division problem by rolling dice to fill in the divisor and dividend. Then, they solve the problems and explain their thinking along the way. This activity is available in 3-by-1 and 2-by-1 long division grids.

I designed these worksheets to warm students up to the basics of long division (starting with the greatest place value, putting the answer on top, and moving to the next place value), BEFORE considering the "multiply, subtract, bring down" parts of the process. These are a great way to simplify the first step of the process, so students don't get bogged down in the logistics! The first worksheet is one-digit by two-digit, and the second is one-digit by three-digit, in which the divisor does not

This lesson plan will help students naturally decompose groups of 10 through an activity with blocks and tower-building. The plan is organized into: opening, introduction of new material, guided practice, independent practice, and closing. This lesson plan follows the Johns Hopkins School of Education format, including: objectives, connection to achievement goals, prerequisite skills, diagnostic, and notes on assessment, key points, and differentiation. This lesson follows the following objec

This worksheet includes four long division word problems, each with a grid below the problem to guide students in their work. The file is downloadable as a word document, so you can change the names of the teacher/school to personalize it to your classroom!
