X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0.2 Status: O Content-Length: 673 Lines: 17 Dear Colleagues, I need some ideas for teaching long division to ABE students who probably have learning disabilities. At the moment, I have two in my classroom who are really not getting it. We have tried math blocks (to show how it works visually), I have tried having them use graph paper for the problems. They do it fine one day and then come in the next day and can't remember the process again. Since I have been encountering this problem over and over again with various students, I need some tools. I remember I saw a kinesthetic way to teach long division at a Montessori school. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Michele Craig Woodland Adult School
