Mental Division Strategies Anchor Chart

Here's an anchor chart that I recently posted for mental division strategies. This chart helps students think of ways to estimate and decompose to create easier problems.

I teach using the EngageNY curriculum for 5th grade so this poster correlates directly to what's taught there but it can be used for any classroom and curriculum. 

The T-Charts on the side help students pick correct estimations and help students divide correctly but they often forget their basic facts.
