Division Raceway
After learning any multi-step problem (long division, two-digit numbers times two-digit numebr, etc.), the class will be ready for a high-paced race and challenge. Follow the instructions below.

1. Split your class into teams of about five.
2. The first person on each team writes down the math problem the teacher says.
3. On the teacher's cue, he or she passes the paper to the next teammate who does the first step to the problem.
4. He or she then passes it to the next person who does the second step, and so on until the problem is completed. In most cases, students will receive the math problem more than once depending on the team size and the steps to the problem.
5. The  team that finishes first and has the correct answer wins the round.

It is very important that each person does only one step. The teacher will need to monitor by walking around and assisting where needed. If a child notices a mistake, he or she can fix it and then do his or her step.
