Round the divisor to a whole ten to try a quotient: lower it if too big, raise it if too small

You cannot just see the quotient when the divisor has two digits — so estimate it. Round the divisor to the nearest whole ten and try a first quotient; then multiply back to check: product too big means the quotient was too big, lower it; leftover larger than the divisor means it was too small, raise it. Watch the red trial digit turn into the green correct digit, and trial quotients stop being guesswork.
Tap "Next" to watch trial quotients happen: round the divisor to a whole ten (26 → 30) for a first guess, then multiply back to check — lower the quotient if the product overshoots, raise it if too much is left. Every problem divides exactly, from guided rounds with obvious tens up to three-digit quotients.
