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 |

Hi...
I'm a teacher in The Netherlands and for a couple of years now we've moved onto teaching children this way of division. We let them right down the multiples of whatever number they have to divide by and then use the same formula as the website states. The advantage of this, is that children can see what they are doing instead of performing a trick. Give it a try, you'll see that it helps.
Regards,
Yvonne |

|

I created a calculator that shows the steps of double division. Double
division is a method for doing division that may help teach the concepts
of division - and may be less frustrating because there is no trial and
error guessing.
Check it out if you'd like. Just click "Step 1" then "Next Step", "Next
Step",,,
