Teaching tips for division
- Teach division alongside multiplication: if 6 × 7 = 42, then 42 ÷ 7 = 6 and 42 ÷ 6 = 7.
- For long division, practice the steps in order: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down. A sticky note with the steps helps.
- Start long division with one-digit divisors and no remainders, then add remainders once the steps are routine.
- Encourage checking: quotient × divisor + remainder should equal the dividend.
