Introducing Dividing 2-Digits by 1-Digit - PowerPoint

The educational resource introduces Year 3 students to the concept of dividing 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. This fundamental mathematical skill is taught using interactive PowerPoint presentations and engaging worksheets. The objective is to familiarise students with the process of division and how to handle calculations that involve dividing two-digit numbers by a single digit. To aid understanding, the resource employs place value counters and grids, which visually represent the division process. For example, students are shown how to divide 64 by 2 to get 32 by using place value counters to represent tens and ones. This visual approach helps students grasp the concept of division more concretely.

Further into the lesson, the resource provides practical examples and challenges that encourage students to apply their learning. These include real-life scenarios such as dividing apples or sweets among friends, which help to contextualize the division process. Worksheets are also included to reinforce learning, offering various division problems such as 88 ÷ 4 and 69 ÷ 3, along with exercises that require students to compare statements using mathematical symbols like greater than, less than, or equal to. The resource ensures that students not only learn to perform division calculations correctly but also understand the underlying concepts, such as the need for exchanges between tens and ones when necessary.
