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.

4. Users can select multiples to show on the Hundreds Grid. (Uses Java.)
Choices include having the user identify the multiples or having the
program animate the identification of multiples of a single number.
Teacher Tool - Hundreds Grid (Look for the hundreds grid on the home page)

5. Earn points by landing on prime number spaces. The game also includes
probability as players must choose which random number generator to
use. On the Calculation Nation homepage, use "guest pass" to access the
game list and play against the computer. (Click on the title, Prime Time.

7. Online Book - The Best of Times helps kids master their basic times
tables through a deeper, more connected understanding of
multiplication. Mastery means they not only have automaticity with
basic facts, but they are fluent and can use these facts to multiply
numbers of any size. This book develops fluency by using poems and
pictures to communicate strategies that work for all numbers, not
just small numbers. Let the good times roll!
