Long division of big numbers is really a chain of small steps: how many times does it fit?, multiply, subtract, bring down. Each step runs on multiplication facts, basic division, and place value. Warm these up and multi-digit division stays calm.
These are words you'll need to already know to follow this lesson — not the new words the lesson teaches. Review each one, its meaning, and the example so the new lesson makes sense from the start.
Level 1 To add the same number many times to find a total.
Example: 9 × 6 means add 9 six times to get 54.
Level 1 A quick split you know by heart, like a times fact in reverse.
Example: 56 ÷ 8 = 7 because 8 × 7 = 56.
Level 1 What a digit is worth because of where it sits in a number.
Example: In 347, the 4 sits in the tens place, so it is worth 40.
Level 1 A close guess of an answer using easy round numbers.
Example: 84 ÷ 4 is close to 80 ÷ 4 = 20.
