What’s Included in This 4th Grade Math Unit

Everything needed to teach and reinforce long division with remainders is organized and ready to print!

4 Mini Lessons:
Students explore long division step-by-step through interactive notebook entries covering:

• Area model division for visual understanding

• Partial products for breaking problems into manageable chunks

• Box method for organized problem solving

• Standard algorithm for procedural mastery
  Each mini-lesson includes cut-and-paste notes that can be glued into math notebooks for reference during class or at home.

Worksheets (10 total):
Students build fluency and accuracy with a variety of long division problems, including:

• 3-digit by 1-digit division with remainders

• 4-digit by 1-digit division with remainders

• Area model, box method, and algorithm practice

• Interpreting remainders in context

• Error analysis and real-world application

Every worksheet scaffolds the skill from conceptual models to full algorithmic fluency.

Emoji Math Sort:
Students decide whether each equation is solved correctly. A smile means correct; a frown means incorrect. Great for independent review or small group checks.

Penguin Remainder Sort:
Students sort penguin task cards by their remainder, reinforcing both calculation and interpretation. Ideal for centers or partner work, with recording sheets and answer keys provided.

Multi-Player Game – “Fill It Up!”
Students race to fill their gameboards with correct answers. Each solved problem earns a spot on their board. The student with the most spaces filled wins — and the game can be played multiple times throughout the year.

Game #1: Build a Dinner Plate

Students earn dinner plate pieces as they correctly solve long division problems. The first player to fill their plate with 10 items wins! This game focuses on interpreting remainders in context and adds fun variety to division review.

Game #2: Build a Park

Students solve division problems to earn pieces for their park. Chance cards make gameplay unpredictable and engaging. The first player to complete their park wins — great for math centers or early finishers.

Game #3: Whole-Class Game – Bucket Filler!

Set up division task cards around the classroom. Students move from card to card, solving and checking their work. Each correct answer earns a “bucket drop,” and prize winners are drawn at the end of class.

Game #4: Racing Game – Line Them Up!

Students compete to match division problems with their correct quotients and remainders. Teams race to get their cards in the correct sequence. Perfect for teamwork, accuracy, and quick thinking!

All games come in color and black-and-white versions for easy printing and flexibility.

Flexible Classroom Uses

This 4th grade division unit can be used for:

• Whole-group lessons

• Math centers or small group rotations

• Partner practice

• Spiral review or early finisher activities

• Homework and independent review

The mix of visual models, error analysis, and interactive games ensures every student builds confidence with long division and understands the meaning of remainders.

Standards Alignment
