Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Well, I had the same question, until my daughter panicked mid-equation, "Mom, I have two beads left--what do I do??!!" Aha! Suppose you have eight beads to exchange--you'll use eight tubes of beads. Like 819÷9. Eight can't be shared among nine, or so I'm told, so all eight of those hundreds have to be exchanged for ten tens each. This is when my older dd starts demanding that I show her how to do it "on paper" because the beads take too long.

There are more presentations (division with two and three digit divisors), but I need to figure them out. I'll try to post them later today.
