[nabs-l] Long Division

[Karl Martin Adam]

It's basically a rubber bord with small square holes and a set of 
cubes with different braille characters on each side.  You put 
the cubes in the board to make whatever problem you want, and 
then you can move them as you solve the problem.

hello. Don't think I have ever heard of Cubi-Rhythm? What is it? 
Very
intrigued.

 Hello,
 What about Cubi-Rhythm? Then you could physically carry numbers 
down
 or take them away etc. That's what I did in school and It helped 
with
 long division and long multiplication.

 Very best wishes,
 Sandra.

 Good morning Jessica,

 	I will say, I hardly remember what methods I used when 
completing
 long division problems since I now rely heavily on Excel and 
calculators,
 but I will try my best to suggest some alternative tecniques.

 First, Excel would be an interesting way of setting up problems 
on a
 grid-like format. For example, if you were going to do 210 
divided by 3,
 you
 could put 3 in cell a2, and then 210 in cells b2, c2, and d2 
merged
 together. Then, as you approach the problem, you can put the 
work you've
 done, for example, 3 into 21, which is 7 above the 1 in c1. With 
complex
 problems, you have the grid below the initial problem to put 
subtraction
 symbols, other numbers, and line it up how you would want it.

 Second, the Braille writer is not a bad idea. You could set up 
the problem
 with lines and the little house, so once you roll out the paper, 
you can
 understand the work you've done. This way is more tedious and 
difficult
 when
 it comes to fixing mistakes, but it is a way to visualize the 
problem.

 Good luck; and we are here for you if any more questions arise.

 Best,
 Kathryn

 Subject: [nabs-l] Long Division

 hello all.
 Currently, I am in a high school precalculous class. The latest 
subject we
 have delved into is long division. In my algebra class two years 
ago, I had
 a para figure out how to do this linearly through a braille 
writer, rather
 than trying to do it the common, spacial way to do it which made 
absolutely
 no sense. Now, of course, when I need it again, I don't remember 
how this
 was done. Does anyone have methods for doing long division 
linearly or any
 other tips?
 Any help would be appreciated.
 Jessica.
