Multiplication and division - Divide 100 into 2, 4, 5 and 10 equal parts activity - Worksheet

The worksheet titled "Divide 100 into 2, 4, 5 and 10 equal parts" is designed to enhance students' fluency and precision in division. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to enable students to write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division, including two-digit numbers divided by one-digit numbers, and to transition from mental arithmetic to formal written methods. To facilitate this learning, resources such as differentiated sheets, teaching slides, and equipment like base 10 blocks, place value counters, grids, and 100 squares are recommended. Key vocabulary includes terms such as 'divide', 'partition', 'double', and 'half'.

Through a series of activities, children explore different methods to divide 100 into equal parts. They use practical tools such as place value grids and partitioning methods to divide 100 by 2, 4, 5, and 10, and complete pictorial representations to aid their understanding. For example, Tia uses a place value grid to find that 100 divided by 2 equals 50, while Zach employs a partitioning method to discover that 100 divided by 5 equals 20. The worksheet also prompts students to observe patterns and solve problems, such as filling in missing numbers in a sequence of divisions. This hands-on approach helps students to grasp division concepts and develop their problem-solving skills.
