Common questions

What is the bus stop rhythm?

Divide, write, carry the leftover to the next digit, repeat. How many 7s in 8? One, carry 1. How many 7s in 16? Two, carry 2. The little carried digits do all the remembering.

Short or long division first?

Short, with single-digit divisors. It builds the divide-and-carry rhythm with less writing, and long division then feels like the same dance with bigger steps.
