Teaching long division "the Maggie way" was very rewarding. I just finished day two and most of my fourth graders can not only do it, but can explain the hows and whys of what they are doing. The minipulatives and the new language worked wonders. I am a believer.
On a completely different subject, according to the new MLRs fourth graders are supposed to be able to visualize a square meter, so that pvc square and cube I invested in for place value will now pay further dividends.
