Moving with Remainders

A great way to practice our math skills is through games where we are having fun and not realizing how much math we are doing amidst the joy. ;)  Today students learned how to play the long division game Moving with Remainders.  In this game, students move their pawn, roll the die, divide the number they are on (dividend) by the number on the die (the divisor) and their remainder is how many spaces they get to move for their next turn.  It's great fun, until you get a question where there isn't a remainder.  No spaces for you that turn! :p
