Math Is Fun Forum

You all have such great answers so I am going to ask for your help too. Not sure if it's considered long division. My 3rd grader just can't get division. He's not understanding how to "fill in the blank". For example  6√288     or   63÷9=  He's not getting it.  I am not sure how to explain it to him so he gets it.  I have printed a multiplication table for him to use. He gets math usually so I am not sure how else to help him.  I just saved "mathisfun.com" to my favorites bar and I am going to have him do the math trainer and see if that helps him.  I am afraid if he doesn't get this, when the class gets to remainders he's going to be really lost.  Can you please give me some tips that will help him understand it easier?

Thanks for your wisdom!
