Partial Quotients Division helps students learn and practice the partial quotients division method step by step. The app gives students a visual way to solve division problems by making a series of estimates, subtracting partial products, and adding the partial quotients together. This can make division easier to understand than the traditional long division algorithm. Students can solve randomly generated problems or enter their own division problems. The Partial Quotients Method: In the partial quotients method, students divide by making estimates that are easy for them to use. For example, in 992 ÷ 8, a student might first estimate 100, leaving 192. Then the student might estimate 20, leaving 32. Finally, 8 goes into 32 four times. The result is found by adding the partial quotients: 100 + 20 + 4 = 124. Different students can use different estimates, making the method flexible and easier to understand. Teacher endorsements: “The math apps by Esa Helttula allow students to practice and reinforce the specific computation strategies taught in class, with as much or as little scaffolding as necessary. They also provide individualized feedback to each student, with an immediacy that is not always possible through pencil and paper practice.” — Rita Zeni, Ecole Sandy Hill Elementary, Abbotsford, BC, Canada “There are students who see my examples who still need some guidance, and after using your app have said, ‘Now I get it.’ The feature of selecting possible solutions in each step helps some of my students who are still building their multiplication facts.” — Zachariah R. Prowell, Highlands Elementary, Edina, Minnesota, USA Features: - Step-by-step partial quotients division practice - Dividend can have 2–5 digits - Divisor can have 1 or 2 digits - Randomly generated or manually entered problems - Current operation can be hidden - Operands of the current operation can be highlighted - Customizable interface colors - Adjustable animation speed Other iDevBooks Math Apps: Other iDevBooks math apps include Column Addition, Long Multiplication, Long Division, Column Subtraction, Visual Multiplication Table, Partial Differences Subtraction, Partial Products Multiplication, Partial Sums Addition, Decimal Rounding, and more.

Snap&Read Universal reads both accessible and inaccessible text aloud from websites, images, photographs, PDFs, and more. Snap&Read also adjusts complex text to be more readable, and can translate text into over 100 languages. You can even take a picture and have the text within that picture read aloud. Snap&Read has both an App (for reading aloud, translating, simplifying, and annotating PDFs and Images) and a Safari extension (for reading, simplifying, and translating websites). If difficult vocabulary is too challenging, Snap&Read can dynamically level the text. Essentially, Snap&Read will pick out the difficult words/phrases and swap them out for easier to comprehend vocabulary/phrases. To see the original word, just tap on it to toggle between the original word and the simplified word. THIS... "The Time Traveller was expounding a recondite matter to us." BECOMES... "The Time Traveller was explaining a unknown matter to us." Finally, if you have paper, magazine, book, etc... you can use the Camera feature to take a picture and read. If you’re on the go and don’t want to bring your books… you can save the images to your picture library and access them all later right from the Snap&Read App even if you have no internet connection.
