SUPER Chunk It Division — a Better Way to Divide

Chunk It Division except for multiple-digit divisors. The preferred algorithm of MOVE IT Math, but not taught to mastery. Only Chunk It is taught to mastery. Calculators are advocated for division problems with multiple-digit divisors. Go to MOVE IT Math™ on the web @ moveitmaththesource.com for teaching aids and alternative methods for division. The site is full of great basic math lessons that are effective with ALL children, including those who don't know what they ought to know by now and those who need enrichment. Please give us a chance to help you boost grades, increase test scores, and improve attitudes. EVERYONE can learn and like math. We are new to the web but have been making that happen for more than 35 years!

...? Standard multiplication. That chart on the side is extra. And why don't people just think of 25 as a quarter or 25 cents? Speeds it up a lot. And simple mastery of multiplication tables frees up your thinking to flow through it much more easily.

Ummmm, this isn't called "SUPER Chunk It", this is called Long Division, Normal, ordinary, standard long division, which has been taught for decades, maybe centuries in North America. Which is better than the Chunking method I've been seeing. The only thing new to me is that "chart" on the side (which seems handy), and the notation used in the classroom examples, which seems like quite a simple variation.

I learned to divide by the 2 digit divisors the "Asian" way back when I was a mere child and now that I am a dad and has to explain how to do it to my young child, the steps I showed her were too complicated because it is all spread out. However after watching this video demonstration, I prefer this new way of diving a whole lot more. I will first practice myself a few times, then I will pass it on to my young daughter. Thank you.
