In a Year 3 mathematics lesson, students are encouraged to develop their skills in division through a series of engaging activities. Beginning with a 'Fluent in Four' revision task, they tackle division problems such as dividing 40 by 8 and working out the result of dividing the number composed of eight tens and seven ones by 3. These exercises are designed to consolidate their understanding of basic division and enhance their numerical fluency. The lesson takes place in the Spring Term, during Week 2, on Day 4, and aims to build confidence in dividing two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.

The lesson also includes a practical activity where pupils complete place value counters to solve the division of 84 by 4. Using a visual representation of tens and ones, students can clearly see how 84 is divided into equal parts, reinforcing the concept of division as sharing or grouping. Additionally, the lesson incorporates a directional activity where students must draw a route based on given instructions involving squares and quarter turns. This not only helps in understanding geometric concepts but also in following sequential directions, thus integrating mathematics with spatial awareness and problem-solving skills.
