Description :-
The Long Division Set is an educational material designed to help students visualize and understand the concept of long division using a hands-on, interactive approach. It contains a variety of components such as test-tube holders, beads, and division boards that guide children through the process of dividing large numbers into smaller, manageable parts. This set is especially useful for teaching division in a Montessori-style classroom, where physical and visual learning aids support
conceptual understanding.
Material Description:
1. Large Tray:
The set is neatly arranged in a large tray that holds the components in an organized and visually appealing manner. The tray is designed to keep everything in place for easy access
and storage.
2. Color-Coded Test-Tube Holders:
The set includes test-tube holders that are color-coded into white, grey, and black. Eachholder contains 10 holes, and there are a total of 3 holders to accommodate all the components. The color-coding is designed to help children understand different divisions and groupings in the division process.
3. Test-Tubes with Beads:
The set contains 70 test-tubes in total, each filled with 10 beads. These beads are color- coded in green, blue, and red, with a total of 700 beads. These beads are used to represent units, tens, hundreds, etc., in the division process, helping children break down large numbers into smaller parts that can be easily manipulated.
4. Division Boards:
The set includes 3 division boards, each with green, blue, and red bands. These bands represent the divisor in the division process. Each board allows students to visually separate
and organize the components of the dividend and divisor, making it easier to perform long division step by step.
Long Division Set
1. Visualizing Long Division:
The Long Division Set allows students to visualize the division process by breaking down large numbers into smaller, more manageable parts. The beads and test-tubes help children
physically manipulate the numbers, reinforcing the concept of division.
2. Hands-On Learning:
This material promotes active, hands-on learning, which is an essential part of the Montessori method. Children can physically move the beads, place them in the test-tubes, and organize them on the division boards, allowing for a more intuitive understanding of division.
3. Understanding of Place Value:The use of color-coded beads and test-tubes makes it easier for children to understand place value in the context of division. The beads represent units, tens, hundreds, etc., helping students to see the relationship between each place value during the division process.
4. Step-by-Step Learning:
The division boards, with their color-coded bands, guide students through the step-by-step process of long division, helping them see how each part of the number is divided and how the remainder is handled.
5. Division with Remainders:
This set is also useful for teaching division with remainders, as children can use the beads to separate the remainder from the quotient, further developing their understanding of division operations.
