Learning about Division

In math, we're about to head into division. Division sounds scary, but is really fun! Students are learning about how to deal with remainders, how to turn around multiplication facts into division facts, and how to use estimate the solutions to division problems.

Ready to play some games? Here are some fun activities to help you become fast and fluent with your division facts.

Math Magician
This game is a great place to start. You can choose your divisor to work on bits of division at a time. Try to beat the clock!

Division Mine
Use division to help miners figure out how many cars to use to transport their gems. (Note: If you're playing this in the computer lab, make sure to turn the sound off!)

Demolition Division
Okay, I had trouble with this one! Maybe you can learn how to use the arrow keys and get a better score than mine. If you like online skill games, you will enjoy this mix of quick aiming and division.

Sum Sense
A great game! Drag the cards into the blanks to create a correct number sentence.
