Multiplication and Division - Divide by 100 - Presentation

In this educational presentation, students delve into the concept of dividing by 100. The lesson starts by asking the pupils to discuss with their classmates the method for dividing by 10, and how this knowledge can assist them in understanding how to divide by 100. This discussion sets the stage for the day's learning objectives. The presentation then guides the students through a series of thought-provoking activities, beginning with a visual demonstration using the place value chart. This visual aid helps students to grasp how dividing by 10 can inform the process of dividing by 100, illustrating the relationship between the two operations. The presentation encourages students to apply their understanding of place value to explain the connection between multiplying and dividing by 100.

Subsequent activities in the presentation include practical examples that relate to real-life scenarios, such as sharing £1 between 100 people, which is explained using a comparison between £1 coins and 1p coins. This analogy helps students to visualise the division process. Another activity invites students to match calculations with correct answers, further reinforcing the division concept. The presentation also includes reasoning challenges where students must deduce starting numbers and the operations performed on them based on given results. To consolidate their learning, students engage in independent work, involving calculations and the use of comparison symbols to create accurate mathematical statements. The lesson wraps up with a discussion on the relationship between division by 10 and 100, and how these operations relate to multiplication, including the creation of fact families using 100.
