I started out by using one color for the divisor and another for the dividend.
2. We kept the quotient and the product the same color as the divisor. Why? Because my kids needed a visual reminder of how they are related. Yellow is for the difference.
3. Then we physically picked up the next number in the dividend and moved it down next to the difference. At this point, one of my kids incredulously shouted out, "That is where that comes from?"
4. Keeping the divisor, quotient and products the same color...
5. We just kept moving down the dividend and carefully lining it up with the quotient.
6. At the bottom, the last difference was the remainder.
This worked well on the whiteboard with large Post It notes for my small groups yesterday. They were big enough that the students could easily see them and move them.
If I was working one on one, I would use the smaller Post It notes and construction paper.
As far as whole class/partner work, I am considering making number tiles and mats to make to make a real partner activity (to save on the Post It notes).
I even think that this could be adapted to work as a foldable in our Math Notebooks. Maybe with the paper number tiles and a foldout....
This is one of those activities that you will have to refine and adapt for your classroom.
