can't do division - is this normal?

<p>I talked with my very math-y college son today. (He’s an engineering major, but he co-found a campus math club “for fun”). He says he can was taught to do traditional “by hand” long division. But… now that he does elementary school math coaching he has started to teach a different newer method that is more logically converted to “in your head” division. I’ve asked for a demo at Thanksgiving break.</p>
