Partial Quotients Help

Tonight, students are bringing home homework that asks them to use partial quotients division. Because this is so different from the way MOST of us learned to do division, I thought you might need some explanation. If you follow these steps, you can watch a movie/animation on the method. That might help! Good Luck!!
