I know long division is fading fast, but I feel my students need to know this concept to ensure success in future grade levels. I always struggle with whether to teach this skill or simply rely on a calculator. I know students should be able to do this skill when they get to fifth grade, but they cannot. I know my parents want their students to know how to do this without a calculator. What do you think?
I personally believe that if they understand the concept then calculators can be used.
