What is the Bus Stop Method?
The bus stop method is a clear and visual way to solve division
problems. Here's how it works:
-
Set Up: Write the 1-digit divisor at the start of the question, outside the bus stop.
-
Inside the Bus Stop: Place the 4-digit number inside the bus stop.
-
Divide and Conquer: Start dividing one digit of the 4-digit number at a time, placing each answer above the corresponding digit inside the bus stop.
This method is great for breaking down division into smaller, more manageable steps, helping students see the process clearly.
