Teacher Created Resources Splat™ Game: Division (EP63761)

Fun easy game to play with your kiddo. We made up some other ways to play to fit my son’s interest and its been working great. Helps reinforce the math we have been learning.

Fun learning game to help build math skills!

I’m a special education teacher, I work with 3rd graders. I use these games on Fridays - for fun Friday! . Kids enjoy playing the game, it’s easy and quick. I have addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It’s one of their favorites to play.

I bought this game because I play the addition, subtraction, and multiplication versions with my students all the time, and they’ve requested the division version. Imagine my dismay when I saw a card that says that two divided by zero is zero! For anyone wondering, two divided by zero is not zero. If it was, then zero times two would be two. It’s not. If seven divided by zero was zero (a claim made by another card in this set), then seven times zero would be seven. Again, it’s not. One of my students walked up while I was (angrily) removing these cards, and asked what was going on. I explained, “Well, you can’t actually divide by zero. It’s not allowed. Can you think of a reason why?” She didn’t hesitate with her answer: “My dad says it’s because dividing by zero would destroy the space time continuum and the universe would come to an end.” After a brief pause, I responded…. “That is correct.”
