Multiplication and division - Divide two digits by one digit 2 - Worksheet

The worksheet focuses on enhancing the mathematical fluency and precision of children as they continue to practice division without remainders, specifically dividing two-digit numbers by a single digit. The method employed to facilitate this learning is partitioning, a technique that breaks down numbers into more manageable parts. For example, Emmanuel demonstrates how to divide 24 by 2 using equipment and a part-whole model. This visual representation aids in understanding how to divide both the tens and the ones separately before combining the results to find the final answer.

Students are then encouraged to apply this partitioning method to a series of division problems such as 28 ÷ 2, 62 ÷ 2, 84 ÷ 2, and 44 ÷ 2. The worksheet guides them through the steps: first, they share the tens, and then they share the ones. The process is repeated with different numbers and divisors, allowing students to practice with various examples and solidify their understanding of the concept. To further develop their reasoning skills, they are also tasked with determining the calculations themselves, by completing part-whole models and explaining their methods. This approach not only reinforces the arithmetic process of division but also encourages logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
