Dividing One and Two Digit Numbers by Ten - Worksheet

A series of worksheets has been designed to help students grasp the concept of dividing one and two-digit numbers by ten. These worksheets are a valuable resource for reinforcing the understanding of place value when performing division operations. The first worksheet presents a variety of division problems, such as 3 ÷ 10 and 9 ÷ 10, and encourages students to use place value charts to find the answers. This method helps visualise how each digit moves one place to the right, thus reducing its value by a factor of ten. Decimal numbers like 0.4 ÷ 10 and 0.7 ÷ 10 are also included to extend the concept to decimal place value.

The second worksheet progresses to more complex problems, including those that involve additional steps, such as 12 ÷ 6 ÷ 10, and asks students to evaluate statements like "0.3 ÷ 10 = 3" to identify errors in reasoning. The third worksheet continues with similar division problems, including larger numbers like 16 ÷ 10 and 75 ÷ 10, and again employs place value charts to assist in solving them. The fourth worksheet introduces the Gattegno chart, a tool used to further enhance students' understanding of place value. Students must decipher the original two-digit number from its division by ten, using counters placed over the numbers in the answer as clues. Through these varied and progressive activities, students are encouraged to deepen their mathematical skills in dividing by ten, understanding place value, and identifying and correcting mistakes.
