Area Model Division Video

Tomorrow we will be starting the Area Model Division Strategy in class.
 
The attached video clip will help both parents and students to understand how it works.  I thought watching it in advance would be helpful - it is only necessary to watch until the 6 minute 20 second mark.
 
Please take the time to view the video and then post a comment or question below...
Thanks!

Change can be hard. I am old school. I think if that is how you are taught it looks easy though

Thank you for sharing this alternate method of long division. I think that the standard method is a bit simpler but its good to see different ways to arrive at an answer

My mom understands it, and since I don't know the algorithm I am doing this!
