In fourth grade we make the official dive into long division and boy, there are a LOT of steps! I was inspired by the fantastic teacher blog Runde's Room and her math journal ideas. I used her template and created an anchor chart for our learning. The kids really seem to enjoy it and actually use it more than most of our anchor charts - seems like that is a success!
The acronym for remembering the steps is Does McDonalds Serve Burgers - Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring Down, and repeat! I also added some division words to help students who struggle with story problems and deciding if it's asking to divide or not. :)
