Tower of Power

Okay, here is it.  Division the "funny way".  The theory behind this method is that division is connected to multiplication and repeated subtraction.  With this method, it doesn't matter which facts you remember, you will eventually get to the end.  This is very helpful to students that do not know their facts.  The goal is to take big chunks away from the dividend (the number under the house).  Your final quotient is found by adding up all of your factors and including the remainder.  Check by multiplying!
