Learning the algorithm for long division is no easy task, but this resource helps to break the process into manageable steps. Beginning with an explanation of basic division vocabulary, this presentation goes on to model long division...

Remember long division from fifth grade? Use the same algorithm to divide polynomials. Learners develop a strategy for dividing polynomials using what they remember from dividing whole numbers.

Two methods are always better than one! The eighth installment in this series asks pupils to convert decimals to fractions using two approaches. Individuals first use the more traditional approach of long division and then use reverse...

Individuals learn to apply the Euclidean algorithm to find the greatest common factor of two numbers. Additionally, the lesson connects greatest common factor to the largest square that can be drawn in a rectangle.

How do you apply the traditional division algorithm to polynomials? Here is an Algebra II lesson that extends the use of the division algorithm to polynomials. After establishing the concept of long division, synthetic division and the...

Mathematicians show their understanding of a division problem. If a student can apply long division to a pair of numbers and determine a quotient, what other factors and multiples become apparent? The example illustrates a simple...

Multiply the ways your scholars can find the quotient with polynomial division. A lesson plan introduces polynomial division via long division, synthetic division, generic area model, and using the definition of division. Learners...

Division is division is division is division ... four different ways to write division. Scholars continue to learn about division expressions. They translate between several forms, including verbal phrases, expressions using the division...

Build a true understanding of division of polynomials. Learners use their knowledge of multiplying polynomials to create an algorithm to divide polynomials. The area model of multiplication becomes the reverse tabular method of division.

Patterns in math emerge from seemingly random places. Learners explore the patterns for factoring the sum and differences of perfect roots. Analyzing these patterns helps young mathematicians develop the polynomial identities.

Develop your pupils' understanding of fractions and their decimal equivalence using the 12th instructional activity in this series. Scholars learn an alternative to long division that results in converting fractions to decimals that...
