Max Maths, Year 6, Try it, Dividing 3-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers (2)

In the Max Maths curriculum for Year 6, students are encouraged to develop their proficiency in division with a focus on dividing 3-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. The 'Try it' section presents a challenge where pupils apply the long division method to solve problems. For instance, students are tasked with dividing 276 by 23 and 752 by 46, using the long division process to find the quotient step by step. This exercise not only reinforces their understanding of division but also sharpens their arithmetic skills with larger numbers.

Further practice is provided in the 'Let's Practise' section, which offers additional division problems such as 213 divided by 19 and 585 divided by 39. Here, students have the option to use either repeated subtraction or long division to arrive at their answers, demonstrating their working on paper. This allows for a deeper understanding of the division process and helps to solidify the concept through different methods. For extended learning and more exercises, students are directed to their workbooks, specifically pages 63 to 68, where they can continue to practice and refine their division skills.
