Concepts Taught: helps students stay focused
When teaching long division, students often forget what to do next after they bring down a number. Even though you post the steps on the board, they will subtract, bring down and then get confused. I've found that if the students learn to immediatedly draw a new division symbol abound the subtracted and brought-down number, it will remind them to divide as the next step. ____ )
