Is it possible to create a long division worksheet on macbook air

• Monospaced FONT (like Courier) - Here is Anadale Mono
• Using the "Character palette" - choose "Mathematical Symbols" from the ToC of the Categories TAB
  
  
  
• Choose a monospaced font from the FONTs list (Courier Regular shown)
• double-click the √ symbol to insert it where the text cursor currently is
• close the "Character palette"
• using spaces & the underscore character (SHIFT + ' - ') visually format your numbers and symbols
• PRINT

This MAY not (probably not) come out WYSIWYG for this post, so I will take a screenshot -

_________

11√33,333.00

__________

12√144,444.00

Something that you will print, or something that he works with onscreen?

Try http://www.math-aids.com/Division/ (printable) or http://www.thegreatmartinicompany.com/longarithmetic/longdivision.html (onscreen). I found both site with a Google search for long division. You could probably draw up your own templates in Pages or Numbers without too much difficulty.

I figured 😉

Believe it or not, I got my start on a Mac doing Math symbol 'overhead transparencies' for my Dad's electrical engineering seminar classes

MS Word still has the capability to do proper math symbols

The "Object" inserted is an "VECTOR Image" = 'infinitely resizable"

You can look into available FONTs and apps > https://www.google.com/search?num=20&safe=off&site=&source=hp&q=mathematical+sym bols+font+for+mac

You're welcome. 🙂

You missed out the key hint of "Pages" in your initial post which is why I started with a question.

I'm sure it isn't too hard to set out a table with appropriate borders to guide the calculation. Personally I tend to build things in Word or Excel on Windows so I don't have any hints to offer, but hopefully someone else can chime in.

In all honesty, "Notebook paper" or a legal pad is the path of least resistance to achieve you r goal... some things just cannot be improved upon by technology for a Do It Yourself-er
