• Yeah, it used to bother me too.

But then I discovered
Sticks Stones

Sticks StonesSafeSugar-freeLow in
calories andSO EASY TO USE!
4
To use Sticks Stones,start with a long
division problem.
5e595
Honestly, Sticks Stones is GREAT!
5
Next, list the first 9 multiples of the divisor.
5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45

The DIVISOR is the number that does the dividing.
6
Now look at the first digit of the dividend.
5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45

5
The DIVIDEND is the number that is being divided.
7
Since you can take 1 multiple out of this digit,
draw 1 stick under it.

Since you drew 1 stick, place a 1 on top to

Wait, that only takes out 5. What about the
rest of the 9?

Count up from the last stick (5) and draw a
stone for each remaining number until you reach
9.

Now you have seenSticksStones !Lets try
another

First, list the multiples of the divisor (the
number doing the dividing).
4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36
4e219

Now look at the first digit in the dividend (the
number being divided).
4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36

Hey! That number is too small to be divided by 4!
21
Thats right! So now you will have to look at
the first 2digits together!

Hey! That number is too small to be divided by 4!

Now draw 1 stick for each multiple that you can
remove from the number 21.

HmmmI can go all the way up to 20, so I can draw

Now draw 1 stick for each multiple that you can
