LONG DIVISION HINTS

Daddy, Mother, Sister, Brother

I point out that the beginning letters will remind them to
1)Divide 2)Multiply 3)Subtract 4)Bring Down

For example:

Let’s start with this simple problem.

Since “Daddy” comes first, we divide first.

Next comes “Mother”, so we multiply.

“Sister” means we subtract.

Last comes “Brother”, so we bring down and start the process again.
