This unit is to be used with second grade students to teach addition and subtraction strategies, or remediate with students needing extra practice.

This is one possible method for using the area model for division.

With this division strategy, students divide by breaking the dividend into its expanded form. Then, students use familiar multiplication facts to divide. It is suggested that this would be the first of three strategies for division (preceding partial quotients and the standard algorithm.

In this video, a student explains how to use the area model for multiplication. The area model is a multiplication strategy based on decomposing numbers basedon place value.

This article highlights the five essential components of cooperative learning, provides a quick overview of the research behind the strategy, describes three of the most common types, and offers ideas on how to get started using cooperative learning at the elementary level.

This video shows HOW and WHY we can shift decimals to make whole numbers when dividing.

This single player game helps students develop an understanding of the partial quotient strategy for division. It can also help students develop and understanding of division with and without remainders.

This article describes the importance of teaching students the strategy of note taking and includes a template for use with elementary students.

This article discusses a strategy to help elementary students organize information while doing research.

This is one possible way to use the partial quotient strategy for division.

In this video, 5th grade students use the partial quotient division strategy to solve a 3-digit by 1-digit division problem. While this class begins with a brain dump, it is not necessary.

This is a brainstorming activity to gauge the depth and breadth of your student's poetic elements knowledge.You can use this as a pre assessment or formative assessment depending on your instructional needs.The slides can be changed depending on your grade level standards and the literary or poetic elements that you are focusing on in your instruction.

This article provides an overview of questioning as a reading strategy and includes templates and links to books, lesson plans, and web sites for more information.
