Hello all,

I just read this message posted on the Focus on Basics discussion list and
thought that one of our LD subscribers would be able to respond to Michele
Craig.

Any suggestions for her???

Please post your responses to: nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov and also to our list

Thanks,

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
