Long Division Review

My Second and Third Graders needed extra help understanding the concepts of long division and I found the perfect solution; "Long Division" is like a tutor in your pocket! There are several things that make this app special. First, it can be customize to the child's level of learning needs. You can choose between 1 or 2 divisor digits, or 3,4,5 dividend digits. You can customize the theme colored background to black, white, or gold, and the animation can be changed from slow to fast. You also have a lot of choices, like creating your own problems or solving the ones displayed, and choosing if you want remainders or decimals. The biggest challenge when working with division problems for early learners is keeping the numbers in the correct columns and, of course, remembering multiplication facts. What's great is this app highlights the column that needs to be solved. At the bottom of the screen are the answers and when you choose the right answer to the step, it will float to the correct position in the problem. If the wrong number is chosen, it will inform you that you've made the incorrect choice. The app allows the user a chance to keep trying until the problem is solved. Long division is difficult for some students and I like this app because it makes the experience very simple. This simple approach does not overwhelm the learner and that's just what a child needs to be successful at practicing long division. Problem Solved!
