New Method for Teaching Division

Double Division - a method for doing division
http://www.clubiris.com/DoubleDivision.html
I found a new method for doing manual division that ?may? be better than long division in a number of ways. It might be useful to teach this method BEFORE teaching long division, or maybe INSTEAD of long division.
I think it's simpler and more intuitive - but I may be wrong. Please check this out and give me feedback. Feel free to forward this to anyone who may be interested - or suggest other places that I might post.
Thanks,
Jeff
