1) Game: Remainders Wanted
*Students played with a partner where they used dice as divisors and chose a dividend from the gameboard. Their goal, be the person with the largest remainder totals at the end.
2) Multiplication Practice
*Using a 6-sided die, students rolled 4 or 5 digits, used these to make up a multiplication algorithm which they solved and checked their answer using a calculator.
*With whiteboards and markers in hand, students practiced solving 3 and 4 digit dividend long division algorithms (using a method of choice) and then checked their work using a calculator. Self checking is important so students can continue to bridge the connection between multiplication and division and be able to identify where they made an error (if applicable).
