Okay, after a very frustrating morning of the length of the week trying to teach long division, i am officially frustrated with the process. We have gone over the basics every single day this week and we spent three hours this morning on three problems and one is still not done. One of them I went through after erasing work, step by step with him and still we had much tears and I am not confidant he learned it.
So, how on earth do you teach it in a better way?
Do you have math u see? I know he had really good ways of teaching the girls how to do the 3 and 4 digit long division. Maybe I can look back and check how he did that. They still have some trouble but only because of silly mistakes.
