Partial Quotients Division!

Welcome Back!  We taught Partial Quotients Division this morning.  Below is a link for reference and support.  Please do not get frustrated!  Today was just an introduction.  We will be working on this more in class tomorrow!  It would be best for them to just practice Partial Quotients at this time.  (Traditional long division will be taught later.)  Thanks!! :)
