Clever children's books can be a great resource for teaching division lessons, especially with the more difficult task of providing a real world context for division. Learning how to perform an operation is much easier to understand than the harder task of composing division problems based on a real world scenarios.
That's
where children's
books come in handy. Through these stories,
kids see how
division can
be used to solve problems, make things equitable... Plus children's books like those listed below can help
differentiate your division lessons to reach all the different learning
styles in your classroom. We think the
books on
this page could be great resources for division lessons
or would be a great way to support at
home what your child is learning at school.
