Thompson, Ian
Mathematics Teaching Incorporating Micromath, n208 p6-8 May 2008
In the final article of a series of four, the author deconstructs the primary national strategy's approach to written division. The approach to division is divided into five stages: (1) mental division using partition; (2) short division of TU / U; (3) "expanded" method for HTU / U; (4) short division of HTU / U; and (5) long division. [For part 3, see EJ784605.]
