Give students a sheet with 25 long division problems. Have students race to solve the problems. The first student to correctly solve all of the problems correctly can win a prize or special privilege, such as being first in the lunch line. Modify the game by setting a timer for two minutes and having students race to see how many problems they can solve correctly in that period of time. This activity can also be used with multiplication problems.
Provide students with a four-by-four grid. Have them fill in each square with a different number from 1 through 50. Provide the class with a long division problem to solve. If the student has the answer to the problem on the bingo card, he colors in the square. Continue with long division problems until a student is able to color in four squares in a row on the grid.
Assign nine students in the classroom to be a number from 1 to 9, and give each student a piece of paper with that number written on it. Provide students with a division problem by giving one student a piece of paper with the dividend on it and another student with the divisor on it. Have them stand side by side. Solve the problem with the class, and call up students with the numbers in the answer to stand behind the dividend and hold up their numbers to provide a visual example of a completed long division problem.
Think of a secret message for students to uncover, such as "long division is fun." Assign each letter in the message a numerical value, and provide a key containing this information for students to use. Have students solve long division problems to figure out the letters in the message and crack the code. For example, if the letter n equals 9, ask students to divide 18 by 2 to get the number 9, and use the key to figure out that 9 represents the letter n.
