• • Long Division Methods

    • Tops/Bottoms Method (Click Here)

I love this video. One of the main difference in how we do this method in class is that we create a T-chart instead of writing our chart horizontal.

• • • Standard Algorithm Method (Click Here) This video does not use the COMPARE step which helps children avoid mistakes that will cause them frustration.  

We use the following phrase to help us remember the standard algorithm for long division: Does McDonald's Sell Cheese Burgers? 

Each letter stands for a step in the algorithm.

Divide

Multiply

Subtract

Compare (Is my difference smaller than my divisor? If it isn't I can make another group.)
