INTRODUCTION
Division is an algorithm that is simply following a series of rote roles. But pupils in the elementary struggle to answer it. Teachers have long been teaching long division as a bunch of steps. Some kids are capable of doing it and get through long division without difficulty, though few, if any, give any thought to why any of it works. The same dilemma was experienced by Grade Three, section Mansanas of Binakayan Elementary School and the worker felt the urgency of addressing the problem since the knowledge on long division has to be mastered being one of the basic operations in Mathematics.
METHODS
A. Population
The respondents of the study were selected pupils from Grade Three -Mansanas of Binakayan Elementary School, Municipality of Kawit, Division of Cavite for school year 2016-2017.
B. Data Collection
A permission was asked from the principal to administer the action research through a letter. A 20 item pre-test was given to measure the respondents' computational skill in Division using long method having modified D3 as material. The respondents answered it for 45 minutes in a complete solution using paper. The statistical treatment used was Mean and Standard Deviation.
RESULTS
a. Test Material Used (modified D3)
