From fact family fun to paper plate crafts, peer mentoring, and clever games, this episode is full of easy-to-implement ideas that build confidence and fluency. Plus, we chat about why it’s so important to teach division alongside multiplication—and how to make that inverse relationship stick.

  • Fun and effective ways to teach division through games and puzzles
  • How to use multiplication knowledge to strengthen division skills
  • Hands-on craft ideas like the self-correcting paper plate spinner
  • Why fact families are essential—and how to make them engaging
  • The power of peer mentoring and student collaboration
