Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2004 21:25:05 -0500 (EST) Dear Colleagues, I need some ideas for teaching long division to ABE students who probably have learning disabilities. At the moment, I have two in my classroom who are really not getting it. We have tried math blocks (to show how it works visually), I have tried having them use graph paper for the problems. They do it fine one day and then come in the next day and can't remember the process again. Since I have been encountering this problem over and over again with various students, I need some tools. I remember I saw a kinesthetic way to teach long division at a Montessori school. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Michele Craig Woodland Adult School
