I've found when that doesn't help, that if I reduce it to as simple a process as possible, it's more likely to stick. http://www.uwrf.edu/~ll63/ElEd/Number/Montessori/Mdivision.htm describes learning multidigit division in a Montessori class.

Any suggestions for her??? Please post your responses to: nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov and also to our list at: nifl-ld@nifl.gov Thanks, Rochelle Kenyon, Moderator NIFL LD and Literacy Discussion List RKenyon721@aol.com 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
