Since the math MCAS is coming soon (May 8 and 10) I wanted to make videos on any math procedures that you wanted to practice on your own.  The most requested topic was (no surprise) long division.

Here is the first of two long division videos.  This video covers level 1 and 2 long division problems (remember, click the link, not the picture). In the second video, I will go over levels 3 and 4 problems.

Level 1 problems have all evenly divisible numbers in the dividend.  It's almost not even long division!

Level 2 problems are long division problems that start out with you dividing the hundreds digit by the divisor.  You'll find a multiple, divide, subtract, and repeat.  You'll see the "wallets" we practiced using in class.

Level 3 problems will be long division problems that don't have any hundreds in your answer.  You'll need to think of the problem in terms of having lots of tens instead of focusing on the small number of hundreds that can't be divided.  You'll find a multiple, divide, subtract, and repeat.  You'll see the "wallets" we practiced using in class.

Level 4 problems will have a zero in the answer.  Paying attention to place value is important in every problem, but it's absolutely necessary in order to get the correct answer to this type of long division question.  You'll find a multiple, divide, subtract, and repeat.  You'll see the "wallets" we practiced using in class.

Did you find these videos helpful?  Please answer in the comments below.
