Sticks & Stones…Safe…

Sugar-free…Low in calories and

SO EASY TO USE!

To use “Sticks & Stones”,start with a long division

problem.

Honestly,“Sticks & Stones” is

GREAT!

Next, list the first 9 multiples of the divisor.

The DIVISOR is the number that does the

dividing.

Now look at the first digit of the dividend.

The DIVIDEND is the number that is being

divided.

Since you can take 1 multiple out of this digit, draw 1 “stick” under

it.

_

_

Since you drew 1 “stick”, place a 1 on top to represent it.

_

I cannot tell a lie.

“Sticks & Stones” is the

BEST !

Bring down the next number.

_

You can take 1 multiple out of this number, so draw 1 “stick” .

_

_

_

Wait, that only takes out “5”.

What about the rest of the “9”?

Count up from the last “stick” (5) and draw a “stone” for each remaining number until you

reach 9.

_

_....

This “stick” equals 5!

Place a 1 on top to represent the 1 “stick” that you drew, then put a 4 underneath

the “stones”.

_

_....

Where did the “4” come from?

The 4 comes from the 4 “stones that were drawn.

_

_....

Where did the “4” come from?

Now bring down the last digit.

_

_....

“Sticks & Stones” is better

than pizza!

Draw 1 “stick” for every multiple you can take out of the number.

Now you have seen

Sticks&

Stones !

Let’s try another…

First, list the multiples of the

divisor (the number doing the dividing).

Now look at the first digit in the dividend (the number being

divided).

Hey! That number is too

small to be divided by 4!

That’s right! So now you will

have to look at

the first 2digits together!

Hey! That number is too

small to be divided by 4!

Now draw 1 “stick” for each

multiple that you can

remove from the number 21.

Hmmm…I can go all the way up to

20, so I can draw 5 sticks!

Now draw 1 “stick” for each

multiple that you can

remove from the number 21.

Hmmm…I can go all the way up to

20, so I can draw 5 sticks!

Hmmm… those 5 “sticks” only took us up to

20…How do we get

to 21?

__________

That’s right, count on from

20 until we reach 21, and draw a “stone”

for each number.

__________.These 5 “sticks”

represent 20.

This “stone

” makes

21.

Now, place a “5” on top to

represent the 5 “sticks”.

__________.Place a “1” below to represent the

“stone”.

Hmmmm…What should we

do next?

__________.Oh yes, bring down the next

number!

Ok…now what?

__________.That’s it, draw a “stick” for each multiple you can take out of 19.

That took us to 16… now what?

__________.Oh yes, count

on from 16 while drawing

“stones”

________.

.

.

Now, count the “sticks” and put the number on

top.

__________.Then count the “stones” and place the number below.

________...

There are no more numbers to bring down, so you are finished dividing.

__________.

________...

Because there are no numbers

left to bring down, the “3” is the remainder.

__________.

________...

What about that “3” left

at the bottom?
