While many lessons can be taught easily in one day, interpreting the remainder isn’t one of them. Students not only need time to process the different ways to interpret remainders, but they also need a lot of practice. This additional practice will help students see the similarities and differences between the various ways to interpret the remainder.

In Part 1 (last week), I focused on the concrete and pictorial phases of the CPA approach. In this episode, I focus on the abstract phase and share helpful tips and ideas for this part of the lesson. In addition, I suggest an idea for small group instruction to help students connect the parts of a division problem to the story.

I also share a fun challenge to get your students to complete tasks in a timely manner along with my Spotify playlist in the Teaching Tip of the Week.
