In a Year 3 mathematics lesson focused on multiplication and division, the concept of dividing two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers without remainders is introduced. Utilising place value counters and small bowls as practical resources, the lesson aims to consolidate children's understanding of division as splitting numbers into equal parts. Key vocabulary such as 'divide', 'division', and 'split' is emphasised, with resources available to support the learning of these terms. The lesson begins with a starter activity where students are encouraged to recall what they have previously learned about division, exploring whether a number becomes smaller or greater when divided.

The main activity involves a step-by-step approach where children use place value counters to represent the number 84 and then divide it into two equal groups of tens and ones. This hands-on method helps them visualise the division process and understand that when 84 is divided by 2, the result is 42. As they gain confidence, children move on to differentiated worksheets to practice their skills. The lesson concludes with a 'Give me five' plenary, where students reflect on what they've learned, the skills they've used, and any challenges they faced. They also consider the support that helped them during the lesson and make a 'pinkie promise' to remember key aspects. Differentiation is provided to accommodate varying levels of ability, from working towards expected standards to achieving greater depth, with more complex tasks such as solving two-step word problems for those ready for an additional challenge.
