Presentations
Static Division
- Take the material to a table. (Could also be done on a very smooth mat with a clipboard for writing.) Start with a problem that won't require exchanging and that won't have a remainder.
- Lay out the stamps for the first number in the problem.
- Remind the child that the second number in a division problem shows how many people you are dividing amongst.
- Set the skittles for the divisor as shown.
- Start divvying out the thousands.
- Then divvy out the hundreds.
- Divvy out the tens.
- Divvy out the units.
- Remind the child the answer is the amount that each person gets. Record the answer on the paper.
