Long Division

Here is a few videos to help remind the students how to do the different methods for long division.  Please do not show the kids how to do the traditional method until after it has been shown in school.  We like to show a few different methods and have the students understand the Partial Quotients method so they can understand the traditional method when we get to it.  We should be getting to all of these methods over the next few weeks.

Area Model: (I am going to have them do the subtraction on the side, so they have plenty of room.)

Partial Quotient Method:

Traditional Method:  They really only need to watch to the 8 min mark.
