Let’s Move Past Sharing Cookies! Using Context, Manipulatives, and Models to Teach Division

Thursday October 24, 2024 9:40am - 10:30am EDT

Do your students struggle with division? They don’t have to! It’s time to bring division to life by giving it context to support students as they build conceptual understanding of division. We can go beyond just splitting cookies into equal groups and dive into the two different types of division problems! Let’s make learning division a hands-on experience as students explore using context, manipulatives, models, and multiple flexible strategies that can be applied to basic division and beyond!
