The kids in my class REALLY need to learn their division facts. I've set up some online practice and written many notes home to remind families to practice with the kids. After our last division timed test, I knew I had to do something different.
Each tribe was giving the task of creating a game using division facts. They had about an hour to come up with the concept and design their boards. It was fascinating to watch the groups collaborate - all of the groups worked really well together except for one. They had great discussions about division and how they could make it work as a game.
The next day we mixed up the groups and had the kids rotate through the games. Each group spent about 10 minutes per game. Little did they know that they had 40 minutes of division fact practice. Next week kids will be able to play the games again during the last 20 minutes of math.
As you can see, they're getting the practice with division and DON'T even know it!
