🧩 Method Mix-Up Sort

Students examine cut-apart sample solutions for 23×14, 326×4, 4,208×3, a fraction-by-whole example, and a related division check, then sort each example by method and label where tens, ones, regrouping, and partial products appear. The teacher models a color-coding routine with base-ten language and a place-value key so students can mark matching ideas across representations. Pairs finish with a quick partner check using a checklist for accuracy, place value, and explanation clarity, then revise one mislabeled card set.
