This chapter presents an overview of division instruction and a sample of interventions for teaching division that include explicit and strategic instructional procedures, which are found in the combined model of teaching. The teaching of the division process is the focus of this article; space limitations restrict the content to the teaching of division basic facts and whole-number computation. One provide sample interventions for teaching division basic facts and whole-number computation. The interventions include explicit and strategic instructional procedures to teach students how to do division. Explicit instruction focuses on the teaching of subskills that are identified as in need of instruction. Small group instruction is an effective way to provide explicit and strategic instruction and to address the wide range of math abilities found in any classroom. Expanded Notation can be used as an alternative algorithm to typical instructional algorithms for whole-number division computation.
