The Long Division Material is a Montessori math tool designed to help children develop a deeper, more abstract understanding of division, including short and long division, with dividends reaching up to the millions. 

This material bridges the gap between concrete and abstract mathematical thinking, fostering an intuitive grasp of division concepts through hands-on practice.
