Long Division Touch is a great teaching app that provides guided practice for students struggling with the steps of long division. Students will need to drag numbers to mirror their thinking and the process of division, but they will not need to actually do the associated multiplication and subtraction. Along the way, they will check each step and only when they are correct, will the placement for the next move be highlighted. There are options for students to work through problems with no remainders well as problems with remainders, a zero in the quotient, adding decimals in the quotient so there is no remainder, repeating decimals in the quotient, and decimals in the divisor. Without question, this is strictly an educational app which can used to supplement instruction at home or in the classroom. There is nothing included in this app to make it more enjoyable for students or encourage them to want to use this app in their free time. However, it does an excellent job of making long division approachable for students who have difficulty remembering the sequence of steps or are still struggling to remember multiplication facts or multi-digit subtraction.

Learn the mechanics of long division with a touch interface. Drag digits down, slide the decimal into the correct position, and tap to identify repeating decimals.

Say you have 8)256. Drag 8 into ‘25’ and find the correct multiple. Then drag the 6 down and finish the problem!

Learning long division can be enjoyable when you’re not slowed down by pencil/paper or lost without instant feedback.

Master long division by practicing on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch!
