Mastering the DMSB Method
Long division is a multi-step process that requires organization. Teachers often use the DMSB acronym (Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring Down) or "Does McDonald's Serve Burgers?" to help students remember the order of operations.
- Divide: How many times does the divisor go into the first digit?
- Multiply: Multiply the quotient by the divisor.
- Subtract: Find the difference.
- Bring Down: Pull down the next digit and repeat.
Perfect for Classroom Use
Our worksheets are designed by educators for educators. We provide large print numbers and clear, crisp lines to ensure that students have enough room to write their remainders and intermediate subtractions without feeling cramped.
Pro Teaching Tip
"For beginners, turn the paper sideways! The vertical lines on notebook paper can help students keep their digits aligned in the correct columns."
