See a clean example
This example uses a long-division bracket with aligned digits so students can clearly see where each number goes.
Remember the order
What happens at each stage?
Write the 3 in the quotient above the 9.
Write 9 under the 9, then subtract. There is nothing left, so bring down the 3.
Write 1 in the quotient. Then multiply, subtract, and bring down the 6.
Write 2 in the quotient. Multiply, subtract, and the remainder is 0.
Work inside the long-division bracket
Fill in the blank spots in each bracket. The subtraction signs are built in so students can follow the structure clearly.
Problem A: 842 ÷ 2
Fill the quotient, each subtraction row, and the remainder.
Problem B: 963 ÷ 3
Fill the same kinds of boxes again to build fluency with the pattern.
Solve more with the bracket
These problems keep the long-division setup visible while difficulty builds from 3-digit ÷ 1-digit to 3-digit ÷ 2-digit.
Round 1: 3-digit ÷ 1-digit
Solve the easier set first.
Round 2: 3-digit ÷ 2-digit
Now apply the same process with larger divisors.
