Long Division App Great for Visual Learners
Be still my beating heart! My 5th Grader is learning long division and sometimes working through the problem step by step is confusing to her. So you can imagine how excited I AM with this app, named Long Division, that translates long division into a color-coordinated step by step process and has a number keypad so that the student can input their results every step of the way. Then, the numbers slide into their proper place in the problem. Very visual and memorable! And also kinda fun! At least I think so. I get back to you on what my daughter thinks!
The Long Division app is $3.99 at the iTunes store. Just click on the top image to purchase it.
The developer, iDevBooks, also has other great math apps including:

In arithmetic, long division is the standard procedure suitable for dividing numbers. The method breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps.
