Tips for teachers and parents

  • Division stories come in two kinds. "Shared equally among 6 bowls" asks how many in each group; "6 on each plate" asks how many groups. Both are division.
  • Ask students to write the matching multiplication fact next to each answer as a check.
  • Encourage a quick sketch for the first story: circles for the plates, tally marks for the cookies.
  • Use Part A to spot shaky facts, then practice those divisors on the single-divisor sheets.

Common mistakes

  • Multiplying the two numbers in a sharing story. Ask "is the big number being split up?"
  • Swapping the numbers, such as 6 ÷ 42. Remind students the total always comes first.

What to practice next

Students who finish quickly can write their own Thanksgiving division story for a partner to solve.
