Multiply the ways your scholars can find the quotient with polynomial division. A lesson introduces polynomial division via long division, synthetic division, generic area model, and using the definition of division. Learners then...

Here is a fine presentation on the finer points of solving a long division problem. Mathematicians are introduced to the divisor, the quotient, and the dividend. They are shown the series of steps necessary to solve these types of...

Long division without remainders is the name of the game in this resource. Students practice the standard algorithm as they solve problems that containing four- or five-digit dividends and three-digit divisors. There are actually six...

Here is a calculating the quotients instructional activity in which learners read the steps to solve and observe the example of a division problem before solving the long division problems with remainders. They solve 12 problems.

Patterns in math emerge from seemingly random places. Learners explore the patterns for factoring the sum and differences of perfect roots. Analyzing these patterns helps young mathematicians develop the polynomial identities.

Teach young mathematicians that sometimes just getting close to the exact answer is perfectly fine, by using this collection of estimation worksheets.

More than just a instructional activity, this guide provides the description of many of the polynomials theorems to assist the learners. Starting with synthetic division, class members are then guided through the remainder theorem and...

Students discuss elements of word problems: key words, data, computation clues, and unnecessary information and use the four steps of problem solving to find a solution and check for reasonableness.

Third graders analyze mathematical word problems and interpret the words into mathematical equations. Individuals demonstrate their knowledge of the order of operations both verbally and through written expression.

Here is a one-variable word problems worksheet in which learners complete word problems dealing with all four operations and one variable. They complete a total of 18 problems.
