Mastering Long Division

The video tutorial by Mighty Owl guides students through solving division problems by identifying and correcting common mistakes. It covers division problems faced by Jenny, Will, Sue, and Latiffa, emphasizing the importance of borrowing when the first digit of the dividend is smaller than the divisor. The tutorial highlights key division rules, such as ensuring the remainder is less than the divisor and placing zeros when necessary. By the end, students learn to check their work and avoid errors, becoming more confident in their division skills.

What mistake did Jenny make in her division problem?

• She missed a group of 5.

• She added instead of subtracting.

• She forgot to multiply.

• She subtracted incorrectly.

When the first digit of the dividend is smaller than the divisor, what should you do?

• Ignore the first digit.

• Multiply the first digit by the divisor.

• Borrow the next digit.

• Add a zero to the dividend.

In Will's problem, how many times does 8 go into 52?

• 8 times

• 7 times

• 6 times

• 5 times

What should you do if a digit in the dividend is smaller than the divisor and there are no groups?

• Skip the digit.

• Add a zero above the digit.

• Multiply the digit by the divisor.

• Subtract the digit from the divisor.

In Sue's division problem, what is the correct placement for the zero?

• Above the fourth digit

• Above the third digit

• Above the second digit

• Above the first digit

What was Latiffa's mistake in her division problem?

• She divided by the wrong number.

• She forgot to bring down a digit.

• She subtracted incorrectly.

• She didn't place a zero when needed.

What is the final answer to Latiffa's division problem?

• 308 with a remainder of 3

• 312 with a remainder of 1

• 310 with a remainder of 2

• 314 with a remainder of 0
