In this scaffolded activity, students will use tape diagrams (division strips) to understand division. Students will read a word problem and view a partially completed tape diagram. They will then determine the dividend, divisor, and/ or quotient (answer to the word problem) on each card. Students will work through the deck with gradual release of responsibility: 1. The first four cards include a tape diagram, the dividend and the divisor. Students type in the quotient. 2. The next four cards

In this scaffolded activity, students will use equal groups to understand division. Students will determine the quotient (number of groups) on each card. All cards feature New Year's Eve/ winter themed objects. Students work through the deck with gradual release of responsibility: 1. Initial cards match the wording format: Divide 20 balloons into groups of 5. There are _____ groups of 5 balloons. 20 ÷ 5 = ____ 2. The next set of cards match the wording format: Divide 20 balloons into

In this scaffolded activity, students will use equal groups to understand division. Students will determine the quotient (size of the group) on each card. All cards feature New Year's Eve/ winter themed objects. Students work through the deck with gradual release of responsibility: 1. Initial cards match the wording format: 32 rockets are divided into 4 equal groups. There are ____ rockets in each group. 32 ÷ 4 = ____ 2. The next set of cards match the wording format: 32 rockets are

In this scaffolded activity, students will use equal groups to understand multiplication. Students will determine the product and/ or the factor(s) on each card. All cards feature New Year's Eve/ winter themed objects. Students work through the deck with gradual release of responsibility: 1. Initial cards have both factors and a description of each number (number of groups, number of objects in EACH group, total number of objects). Students will type in the product. 2. The next cards re
