and remainder concepts used in abacus may be used here to explain the division of
polynominals.
Eg. : Divide x^2 + 5x +6 by x + 2
x + 2) x^2 + 5x +6 (x + 3
x^2 +2x
3x + 6
3x + 6
0Therefore, quotient = x+3 and remainder = 0
Another Method : Detached coefficient method
Eg. : Divide x^2 + 5x +6 by x + 2
13121561236360Therefore, Quotient = x + 3 Remainder = 0
The idea may be explained to the child by presenting the procedure spatially on a
Braille sheet supported by necessary explanation. The mathematical board may be
useful for this too.
