Sarah CB Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 My dd (17) is tutoring a girl in math and her goal is to make long division fun (is that even possible!?). Does anyone have any ideas or sites to recommend? Quote
FO4UR Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 It might not be fun, but khan academy is good. Quote
Alte Veste Academy Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Cuisenaire rods make them fun and explain the process beautifully. Check out the videos on long division at EducationUnboxed.com. http://educationunboxed.com/multiplication_and_division_with_large_numbers.html Quote
Sarah CB Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks - my daughter can recommend some things for her to do at home, so I'll suggest she tells her about Khan and I think the cuisenaire activity will be great! Quote
wapiti Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I'd go with the c-rod video. Here's another fun activity: http://letsplaymath.net/2010/04/12/the-cookie-factory-guide-to-long-division/ Quote
