Division

• Division is the process of breaking down numbers


into smaller groups.
 For example 35 can be broken to 7 groups of 5.
       
   

7 groups of 5
 Sometimes we divide numbers that are hard to break
down. We need a way to divide those numbers too.
Long Division is a way to do that!
This is a sample

Long Division Steps
• DAD (Divide)

• MOM (Multiply)

• SISTER (Subtract)

• BROTHER (Bring Down)

• ROVER (Repeat/Remainder)
DAD (divide)

1. Divide 8 by 6 148r4
2. 6 goes into 8
once, so put 1 6 892
above the 8. -6
3. 6 goes into 29 29
4 times. -2 4 Dad
Mom
4. 6 goes into 52 52 Sister
8 times. -4 8 Brother
4 Rover
MOM (multiply)

148r4
1. After you divide 6
into 8 one time, you 6 892
will multiple 1 x 6
and write it under the -6
8. 29
2. You will do this -2 4 Dad
step after each time 52 Mom
you divide.
-4 8 Sister
Brother
4 Rover
SISTER (subtract)

1. After you
148r4
multiply 1 x 6 you
will subtract 8 - 6
6 892
which equals 2. -6
2. After each time 29
you multiply, you -2 4 Dad
will subtract the
two numbers.
52 Mom
-4 8 Sister
Brother
4 Rover
BROTHER (bring down)

1. After subtracting, 148r4


you need to look
back to the dividend 6 892
to see if there are
more numbers to
-6
bring down. If so 29
move the number -2 4 Dad
next to the
subtracted number.
52 Mom
-4 8 Sister
Brother
4 Rover
ROVER (repeat/remainder)
1. After you Divide,
Multiply, Subtract, and 148r4
Bring Down, you start
6 892
Reflection

the process over until


there are no more -6
numbers to bring down.
29
2. If there is a number
other then ‘0’ after the
-2 4 Dad
last time you subtract, 52 Mom
that number becomes -4 8 Sister
Brother
your remainder.
4 Rover
Reflection
This power point presentation will be linked to my website as a tutorial for students who need reminders
on how to solve long division problems. Many times students struggle with learning the steps for long
division, and hopefully this will help many of them with their homework.
I think this technology has great benefits for myself as a teacher,because I can design presentations for
my students and use them as a teaching tool. I also think that students would like this alternative form
of teaching because it will allow them to see lessons presented with pictures, animation and sound.
For my students, I plan to use this with various projects we do throughout the year. We spend about 3
weeks designing and building toothpick bridges and then I have each student do a research report on a
famous bridge. Instead of having them write a written report, I am going to have them design a
powerpoint presentation. I found out that all of my 5th graders have been taught powerpoint in 4th
grade, so their basic design knowledge should be in place, all I would have to do refresh their memory.
I would require a title page with a picture of the bridge. A page about each of the following: year built
and purpose, location, architect, tupe of bridge (suspension, beam, cantilever, or arch), and a page
highlighting their sources. I actually prefer using this method versus the written report because so much
of the written report depends on what their parents help with This way if each student designed a
powerpoint presentation during school, each student would be given an equal chance.
