The Power of the Visual: Seeing Long Division

[pragyatewari]

I loved it so much. I am really thankful to you James for emphasizing on the visual thinking and learning. AHA moment

Fantastic work! When maths is explained visually it becomes so much more inclusive for both kids and adults. It's like putting skis on the feet of someone trudging through deep snow. A chore becomes an art form.

Brilliant mate! Just frickin Brilliant!! 🎉Finally a game to explain what kids struggle with the most! Thanks 🙏 A 1000, 000

Brilliant, and wonderfully visual 😊
I am homeschooling my son for third grade this year, and this video will provide tremendous benefit

Thank you!!! I’m homeschooling to catch up my kinesthetic 9th grader with a 4th grade math education. We’ve made great progress in just a month, but I’ve been searching everywhere for a way to help him visualize long division. I have base-ten blocks, but with my granddaughter around, I don’t want to use the choke-able pieces. This is a fantastic solution!! Again, thank you SO much!! 🤩

Love your work and enthusiasm!! Sharing this with all the math teachers I know!!

Amazing video. I love the idea of making long division visual.

James, this is a great method for people to understand arithmetic operations! I think once they practice with enough dots and anti-dots, they should just use base-10 numbers in the places and work with them keeping in mind that the places can have the ones place and the rest of the digits in the number in a place has to be moved to the left and be literally added to the number in the previous place on the left. To move digits to the right the digits keep their place value and are added to the place to the right as a digit in their own place value. For example, To divide 4473 by 21, we start with 1000s and see that there are no groups of 21 in 4, so we add the 4 to the number in the place to the right, keeping its place value and make 4 a 44. Then there are 2 groups of 21 in 44 with remainder 2, so we erase the 44 and write 2 in 100s place. Then move the 2 to 10s place and add it to 7, again keeping its place value of 10s, and get 27. And there is 1 group of 21 in 27 with remainder 6. So, we erase 27 and write 6 in 10s place. We move the remainder to ones place and make it 63. There are 3 groups of 21 in 63 with remainder zero. So, the answer is 213. Of course, I would use this after they work with some simple examples with dots.

Just subscribe and finished skimming the viedo. Actually feel with you in my corner I might be able to tackle A level maths 👍👍👍
You are a dyscalculia Genie. Thank you 👍 👍 9th

I love this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. This is best

[timedclutch]

Love this video, I’m almost a adult (17)but I still think this is the best way to teach kids division, hopefully this video gets more recognition! Also is this some kind of aero board or something?

Lmaoo. Not going to lie chat; this man right here got swag!

I love this. My fear of math just exploded! Thank you

[takiahansley]

Please show 475/25. I'm not getting my dots expressed right

[NyuuSkullz]

Im so confused... my kid has 3rd grade homework for 48 ÷ 8 ...and none of these things are making sense to me. Please give me a dummy down method. I used to be AP honor roll and after 9 yrs of being a SAHM... im realizing i forgot entirely HOW to divide but i refuse to not grow so i can help her

[kimberlymatsuda]

I'm stuck on the first practice problem

[kimberlymatsuda]

I actually figured it out by decomposing the extra 100.

[carlossousaoficial]

How i do resolv square roots with dots?
