About this book

📘 Find the Broken Step: A Long Division Correction Workbook: Stop Repeating Division Mistakes — A Parent-Guided System to Fix Remainders and Broken Steps in Short Daily Sessions (Ages 8–12)

Find the Broken Step: helps you slow down and find where the mistake begins. By using short, parent-guided sessions, you are not asked to reteach the whole method.

You are guided to observe one problem, identify where the process breaks, and focus on that step first.

Inside, your child will learn to:

  • Recognize where a long division problem starts to go wrong
  • Identify repeated mistake patterns
  • Use a simple 10-minute check before doing more practice
  • Fx common breakdown points such as remainders, skipped steps, and stopping too early
  • Complete problems with fewer repeated errors
  • Build accuracy step by step instead of guessing through pages

This workbook is designed for children ages 8–12 who already understand basic division but continue to make repeated long division mistakes.

It is a good fit if your child:

  • Makes the same mistake more than once
  • Forgets or miswrites the remainder
  • Loses track of the steps in the middle of a problem
  • Rushes or guesses when unsure
  • Cannot explain where the mistake happened

This book is not a first introduction to division, and it is not a high-volume drill book.

It works best when your child already has some understanding, but needs help seeing where the process breaks and how to correct it.

You do not need long sessions. You do not need to fix everything at once.

Start with one problem. Find where it breaks. Fix that step. Then return to practice with more clarity and less repetition of the same mistake.
