Long Division: by Monica Yuskaitis

This document provides a step-by-step explanation of the long division process using a family metaphor. Each member of the family (Dad, Mom, Sister, Brother, Rover) represents a step in long division: 1) divide, 2) multiply, 3) subtract, 4) bring down, 5) repeat or remainder. It then works through a long division problem (947/2) using illustrations of the family members to demonstrate each step.
