Sweeney-Starke, Nancy L.; Episcopo, Shelly – New York State Mathematics Teachers' Journal, 1996
Describes a lesson on long division using chip trading which follows that algorithm for long division. (MKR)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Arithmetic, Division, Elementary Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bates, Tom; Rousseau, Leo – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
The mathematics associated with division is discussed, working from a theorem for the real division algorithm. Real-world, geometric, and algebraic approaches are discussed, as are related topics. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Division, Elementary Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Baxter, R. J. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1982
A technique for doing long division without the usual estimation difficulty is presented. It uses multiples of 2 combined with a recording technique. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Division, Elementary Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pearson, Eleanor S. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Computational algorithms from American textbooks copyrighted prior to 1900 are presented--some that convey the concept, some just for special cases, and some just for fun. Algorithms for each operation with whole numbers are presented and analyzed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Division, Elementary Education

Reimann, Kurt W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
A generalized method of synthetic division where the divisor polynomial may be of any degree equal to or larger than 1, and the dividend polynomial may be of equal or larger degree than the divisor polynomial and a generalization of the familiar remainder theorem, are presented. (Author/MK)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Division, Mathematics Curriculum
Hadar, Nitsa – Mathematics Teaching, 1979
Suggestions for teaching the concept of division by zero are given. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Division, Elementary Secondary Education, Mathematical Concepts

Hall, William D. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
A strategy to make the transition from manipulative materials to a written algorithm for division is outlined in dialogue form. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Division, Elementary Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Novillis, Carol F. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
The author feels teaching division of fractions is worthwhile because it will help students understand other algorithms. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Division, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kulm, Gerald – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
The multiplication and division algorithms that are taught in German schools are presented. It is suggested that these algorithms may be better than standard algorithms in terms of development of useful concepts and processes. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Division, Elementary Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gantner, T. E. – College Mathematics Journal, 1984
An efficient division algorithm is developed, using a computer program, to convert any positive fraction to its decimal representation. The computer program listing is included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computer Software

Leutzinger, Larry P.; Nelson, Glenn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
Some techniques for developing the ability to multiply and divide by powers of ten with ease and understanding are presented. (Author/MK)
Descriptors: Activities, Algorithms, Division, Elementary Education

Peterson, Wayne – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
A model of the division algorithm is described which relates step-by-step to the standard algorithm. Use of the model in instruction requires the distribution of a special worksheet. The focus of the instruction is on students sharing some amount of money equally among several friends. (MP)

Patrick, Sarah E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
Typical instruction of the division algorithm fails to justify why one brings down a number during the process. The construction and use of an aid is described which can be used to help explain the process of division to students. The aid emphasizes place-value aspects. (MP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Computation, Division
Hazekamp, Donald W. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
Instructional sequences are presented for teaching two-digit multiplication and division with one- and two-digit divisors using a base-oriented approach. (MN)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Division, Elementary Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Spitler, Gail – Arithmetic Teacher, 1981
An approach to teaching pupils the long division algorithm that relies heavily on a consistent and logical approach to estimation is reviewed. Once learned, the division estimator can be used to support the standard repeated subtraction algorithm. (MP)
