Ryan's Resources

This can be used as an anchor chart or handout when learning long division. As usual, this should not be presented before the concept is experienced and discovered through some sort of manipulative. This page presents several mnemonics to remember the order of the steps (one shorthand, and 3 sentences). It also provides a color-coded guide of using the steps to solve a long-division problem.

This handout outlines steps used for solving word problems. 1. Read the question. 2. Understand the question. 3. Look for important information. 4. Highlight the important information. 5. Think of strategies to use. 6. Use words, numbers and pictures to solve. (Show all your work!) 7. Check, check, check your answers! This handout is useful to be kept in their math binder, homework folder or to glue into a math journal. Can be used with any grade level where these problem solving steps are in
