Look at:

https://www.highsmith.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Production/Search.jsp?category=88747&A=15015&NSave=0&Au=CategoryId&catalogId=10060&NaoSave=0&An=0&langId=-1&NttSave=division&storeId=10001

It says: "Classroom Chart - Division".

I got an error message saying the store was unavailable this morning.
But I tried entering from the homepage of the web site. Everything
seemed to work. While poking around, I found this page:

<https://www.highsmith.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Production/Search.jsp?storeId=10001&Nu=CategoryId&noMore=1717&N=794+1717&Ne=1717&langId=-1&catalogId=10060>

It has charts for addition, subtraction and multiplication, but *not*
division. Maybe they *did* respond to your criticism.

On the other hand, they have division flash cards here:

<https://www.highsmith.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Production/Search.jsp?returnURL=Search.jsp%3fstoreId%3d10001%26Nu%3dCategoryId%26noMore%3d1717%26N%3d794%2b1717%26Ne%3d1717%26langId%3d-1%26catalogId%3d10060&category=88753&A=57540&NeSave=1717&NSave=794+1717&Au=CategoryId&catalogId=10060&An=794+1717&langId=-1&storeId=10001>

The sample flash card is 0 divided by 0. I can't see from the box
what answer they expect, but I bet it isn't "undefined".
