My times tables are still shaky. Should I start long division anyway?
Long division uses the tables in reverse every time you decide a digit of the quotient, so if the tables are not automatic you will stall at that exact point. Try level (1) in "Steps" mode; if you keep stopping where the quotient goes, it is faster to drill the tables first with the Times Tables Flashcards.
When should I use "Steps", "Detailed" and "In your head"?
Use "Steps" while the procedure is still new — you divide and subtract one digit at a time, so you can see exactly where it went wrong. Use "Detailed" if borrowing in the subtraction is the sticking point; it splits each borrow into its own step. Move to "In your head" once the procedure is automatic: the hints disappear and your score is multiplied by 1.5.
Can I practise only division with remainders?
Levels (2) With remainders (2-digit ÷ 1-digit) and (4) 3-digit + remainders produce remainders. Levels (1), (3) and (5) never do, so you can isolate the remainder step and practise it on its own.
Are scores and personal bests saved?
