I designed this game so that my students wouldn't begrudge practicing long division. There are 2 game boards. One of the gameboards has 2 digit dividends with 3 digit dividend challenge problems. The other has 3 digit dividends with 4 digit dividend challenge problems. My students really enjoyed it and barely realized they were practicing long division.

This is an activity in which students find the factors of 1-24 using cookie cereal to make arrays to assist them. They complete a chart as they find each factor. After finding the factors or 1-24, there is a sheet in which they identify the prime and composite numbers. There are also practice finding factors worksheets included. I created this activity as an alternative to the Core Curriculum Unit 2 Activity 4. I've used it in my classroom and it worked very well.

In this version of the remainder game, students divide beans from the pot into groups and keep the remaining beans. Better watch out, if you land on spill the beans, you loose all your beans and have to start all over. Mats and beans are provided for hands on division with manipulatives. This game is great for independent workstations. 2-4 players CCSS: 4.NBT.6 ; MA.3.M.3.6

Unit 2, Activity 1 vocabulary cards including terms addend, sum, factor, product, multiple, array, multiplication, area, distributive property, property of zero, and identity property. The term variable is included since it is used in this unit. Printing the cards for the students saves time and prevents handwriting and copying issues.

These puzzlers are GREAT for early finishers or workstations. They truly challenge your students to be problem solvers. There are 6 puzzles. All of the puzzles have 2 digit dividends and the quotients are with and without remainders. Students place the puzzle pieces onto the division mat creating a completed division problem. Answers included.
