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

The worksheet is designed to assess children's ability to divide two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers and to understand remainders. The practical approach uses the visual representation of shapes, where the sides of the shapes act as divisors, and the number of complete shapes represents the quotient, with incomplete shape sides indicating the remainders. Students use place value counters to aid their calculations, determining when it's necessary to exchange tens for ones. The worksheet includes various division problems, encouraging children to draw shapes corresponding to the number of sticks provided and then calculate how many complete shapes can be formed, alongside any remaining sticks.

In addition to these visual and hands-on methods, the worksheet incorporates word problems that challenge students to apply their division skills in real-life contexts. For example, they might calculate how many items can be bought with a given amount of money, or how to evenly distribute objects across a certain number of groups, taking into account any leftovers. This approach ensures that children not only practice the mechanical process of division but also understand its practical applications and implications, such as the concept of remainders. The exercises are structured to promote fluency and precision in dividing two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers, with place value counters serving as a supportive tool to visualize and solve the problems effectively.
