Product Code Database
Problem Size is adjustable for 2 to 9 digits in the dividend and 1 to 4 digits in the divisor. Optional HELP WINDOW gives explanations and advice,but does not give the answer. A Problem Counter shows the number of problems completed at the current level. Only one problem displayed at a time in large, easy-to-see numbers. Each problem is randomly generated, so students working together will be doing different problems. LEARN LONG DIVISION is a program designed to help students learn long division. The program is intuitive and requires minimum instructions. Learning is achieved through repetition and by trial and error. If needed, an optional HELP WINDOW gives advice regarding the position of the first quotient digit. After typing a digit in the correct quotient position, the cursor moves in position to enter the product. Once the digits of the product are correctly entered, a line appears under the product and the cursor is positioned to enter the difference. If the product and difference are correct, but the quotient is wrong, the cursor will move back to the quotient digit. The optional HELP WINDOW advises either increasing or decreasing the quotient. When the quotient digit, the product, and the difference are all correct, then the cursor moves in position to "bring down" the next number, and the process starts over again with the next quotient digit. This is the way we have always done long division, but without the pencils, paper, and erasers. Once the student learns how to do the program, he or she will know how to do long division.
