3. Division Strategy Posters

This set of posters uses words, numbers, and pictures to illustrate six

different methods for solving a division combination without a remainder.

While the examples involve two-digit dividends less than 40, some of the

strategies can be applied to solving larger combinations. All of the

strategies are introduced and reviewed in Bridges and Number Corner,

Grades 3 and 4.
