Today the students learned another way to complete long division. We called it Method #2, but it is also known as the Box Method. Below is a video describing how to do this method of long division. Some of us found this way a lot easier, and I told the students it doesn't matter which we they do it as long as they can do it one way accurately and understand what they are doing.
