[school bell rings]

A stick figure teacher stands in a classroom next to an old TV set.

He says CLASS, I KNOW IT'S
BEEN A LONG DAY,
BUT IT'S ABOUT TO GET
A LITTLE LONGER.
[chuckling]
[rim shot]
I WAS TALKING ABOUT
THE LONG DIVISION;
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
LEARNING NEXT.
OKAY, NO ONE
LAUGHED.
LET'S WATCH THE
VIDEO THEN.

He turns on the old TV and the words "Long division" appear as music plays and a woman sings
LONG DIVISION IS A
USEFUL THING...

The expression 68 divided by 2 appears.

A woman says WHEN YOU SEE A DIVISION
PROBLEM LIKE THIS,
YOU NEED TO RE-ARRANGE
IT FOR LONG DIVISION.
LIKE THIS...

The 2 shifts to the left and a long division mark appears between 2 and 68.

The woman says
THE NEXT STEP IS TO LOOK
AT THE NUMBER ON THE LEFT.

The number 2 flickers as the word "divisor" appears.

The woman says AND SEE HOW MANY TIMES
IT WILL DIVIDE
INTO THE FIRST NUMBER.

The number 6 flickers as the word "dividend" appears.

A message reads "2 goes into 6 3 times."

The woman says SO WE PUT THE 3 ON TOP.

The number 3 shifts and appears above the 6.

A message reads "multiply 3 times 2 and get 6."

The woman says WE PUT THE 6 RIGHT
UNDER THIS 6.

The 6 appears under the original 6.

A message reads "Subtract. 6 minus 6 equals 0."

The woman says NOW TAKE THIS 6 AND
SUBTRACT THIS 6
AND YOU GET 0.

Below the number 6, a line appears and a number 0 appears under that line.
A message reads "Drop down."

The woman says THE LAST
THING TO DO
IS DROP DOWN THE
NEXT NUMBER.
DROP DOWN THE 8
LIKE THIS.

A copy of the number 8 descends below the line, on the right of the number 0.

The woman says AND NOW, WE DO
IT ALL AGAIN.
ARE YOU READY?

A voice sings DIVIDE.

The woman says NOW WE SEE HOW
MANY TIMES
THE DIVISOR WILL
DIVIDE INTO THE 8.

A message reads "2 goes into 8 four times."

The woman says WE PUT THE
NUMBER 4 ON TOP
NEXT TO THE 3.

A voice sings MULTIPLY.

A message reads "Multiply 4 by 2 and get 8."

The woman says WE PUT THE 8 RIGHT
UNDER THIS 8.

A number 8 appears under the second number 8.

A voice sings SUBTRACT.

A message reads "Take this 8, subtract 8 and you get 0."

A voice sings DROP DOWN.

The woman says THE LAST THING IS TO DROP
DOWN THE NEXT NUMBER
BUT THERE ARE NO MORE
NUMBERS TO DROP DOWN
SO THIS MEANS THE
QUESTION IS DONE,
AND THE ANSWER IS
RIGHT HERE: 34.
THE ANSWER, OR
QUOTIENT, IS 34.

A voice sings LONG DIVISION IS A
USEFUL THING.

As the video ends, the stick figure teacher says
LONG DIVISION
LONG DIVISION,
IT'S LONG DIVISION
I HOPE YOUR ATTENTION WASN'T
DIVIDED FOR THAT VIDEO.
OR MY LOVELY SINGING
DIDN'T DISTRACT YOU
FROM LEARNING THE IMPORTANT
FUNCTION OF LONG DIVISION.
DIDN'T HEAR ME?
OH, I COULD SING
IT AGAIN.
REALLY, I
DON'T MIND.
OKAY, HERE I GO.
