How to do Long Division – Four Digits Divided by One (4,224 ÷ 8) with Online Tutoring in Math

How to do Long Division - Four Digits Divided by One (4,224 ÷ 8) with Online Tutoring in Math

I have designed, HOW TO DO LONG DIVISION in a manner that ensures all children can be successful when dividing large numbers.  This is the second article in a series of seven.  Each article is a complete lesson on division.  If you have not read the first article, you can click here to read why my strategies are so very successful.  In this second article we will focus on four digit numbers divided by one digit numbers.  Every problem has its own video tutorial, offering immediate online tutoring for your child.

When you complete this article, click here to move to the next lesson, How to do Long Division – Three Digits Divided by Two.

The photo below show an example of how my students use area division to solve problems with a four digit number divided by a one digit number.  Notice that the first step is to write the “counting by the numbers” above their problem.  This strategy is specifically designed for children who do NOT know their multiplication facts.  My goal is for children is to memorize their multiplication facts.  However, until they know all their facts, they need a strategy.  Counting by the numbers is the easiest strategy to learn.  Therefore, I have added counting by the numbers to the end of each and every video.  Children who do not know all their multiplication facts should watch and count with me at the end of each of these videos until they can count by all the number on their own.  Repetition of this strategy will help in all areas of math that require multiplication.  Once a child knows all their multiplication facts, they can stop the videos after the problem is solved and before Counting by the Numbers begins.

Area Division - Article 2

 

I have scaffold the problems in each lesson.  The first problem is a “Watch Me” problem.  The second is a “Work with Me” problem.  All the rest are “On Your Own” problems.  For more information about the scaffolding process, visit the first article on How to do Long Division.

*If your child continues to struggle, they should complete the “On Your Own” problems as a “Work with Me” problem.  I have a number of students with gaps in their learning and others with a variety of  learning disabilities.  I have had incredible success, by having those students complete 5 to 7 problems within each lesson as a “Work with Me” problem.  They play a bit of the video, then pause it  and copy, then watch a bit more, pause it and copy.  My students Play – Pause – and Copy until the entire problem is solved.  This is like having a personal tutor working through each and every problem with your child.  Every one of my students who has used this strategy has passed the Common Core Proficiency Exam.

Does Your Child Need a Great Book to Read?

My son read every single one of these Magic Tree House books when he was young.  They really helped to develop his reading fluency as well as his comprehension.

I wrote this book when I was teaching in the primary grades.  It’s about a fourth grade boy who is being bullied.  He is taken to another world where he learns to face his fears. In the process, he saves the entire planet from an all-out war. I wrote this book as a testament to myself.  I have dyslexia, and for years I felt limited by my disability.  I decided to write a novel to prove that no disability could hold me back.  Return to the Elves is a fantasy book for children in fifth and sixth grades. This is my all-time favorite book for 6th grade.
It is about a young lady in the time of the Pharos.  She is quite the heroine. This book dovetails perfectly with the sixth grade standard of studying Ancient Egypt.

The problem below is called a “Work with Me” challenge.  This challenge encourages your child to work step-by-step along side me to solve this challenge.  All of the following challenges are called “On Your Own” challenges.  However, many of my students who struggle with division will do five or six of the “On Your Own” challenges as a “Work with Me” challenge.  They play the video, pause it, and copy the strategies until they feel comfortable and confident.  Doing the problems as a “Work with Me” challenge is like having a personal tutor.

Eyes in a Peacock Muster

You own a Peacock farm.  Your favorite thing to do each morning is to look across the farm and see the muster of peacocks.  Muster is the noun we use to describe a group of peacocks.  As you know, Peacocks have the image of eyes on their tail feathers.  If a predator wants to eat them the peacocks will flash their tail feathers, and the predator will think that there are a lot of animals looking at him, so he will get scared and run away.

With their tail feathers flashing the eyes, you see 4,568 eyes.  If each tail feather has 3 eyes on it, how many tail feathers do your birds have?
