Division with Tiffany's Teeth Part 1
Having trouble with division? It's a big club! Here's a way to help you remember what to do!
Division with Tiffany's Teeth Part 2 - larger numbers
Now that you're done, relax and see Tiffany the Sugar Witch in action in 1709.
Long division using the HMS Bringdown style method and a tables grid.
This one includes the use of a tables finder that I use in the classroom. You can follow the link to a template and instructions that you can download and make yourself. It has been quite helpful in the classroom for students who find division and multiplication challenging, especially in term of remembering all the steps, what to write where and locating information on a tables grid. I totally get that! Hopefully if you make the finder this will make life a bit easier!
Download the template and instructions for the finder below.
Download a png image of the finder/s to use in IWBs, GoodNotes, PowerPoint etc. a bit more below!
When combining the png images of finder/s and table, you might need to adjust the relative sizes to match the scales, depending on the platform being used.

MA3-6NA selects and applies appropriate strategies for multiplication and division, and applies the order of operations to calculations involving more than one operation; use mental and written strategies to divide a number with three or more digits by a one-digit divisor where there is no remainder.
Short Division: using mental strategies
A fast way to do division on paper is short division. If you have a good command of your multiplication tables and can do subtraction in your head (up to three digits) then short division is a handy dandy skill to have. This demonstration shows division with one and two digits divisors which is probability you will need in primary school.

Division: understadning "goes into"
What does “goes into” mean? When the teacher asks, “6 goes into 36 how many times?” do you find it difficult to understand exactly what is being asked? Well, then this is the video for you! In this video, we look at the “goes into” symbol – which looks like this a bit: )----- [but with the line on top - which I can't type here!] and how to work with it in long division and later short division. It’s all about how many times on number fits into another number and what might be left over. This can be a challenging idea! This video and the next one will hopefully help you finally get it enough so that you can begin to work through division questions.
