Multiplication and Division - Divide 2-digits by 1-digit (No remainders) - Presentation
Maths Resource Description
The presentation focuses on teaching Year 6 students how to divide two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers without remainders. It begins with a review of the concept of division and its relationship to multiplication. Students are encouraged to discuss and define what it means to divide. The lesson then progresses to practical activities where students use place value counters to visually represent and solve division problems. For example, Leanna demonstrates how to divide 84 by 2 by arranging place value counters into two equal groups. Students are then tasked with using this method to solve similar problems such as dividing 84 by 4, 66 by 2, and 66 by 3, reinforcing their understanding of division as making equal groups.
Further activities include using place value counters and grids to solve division problems, such as Rosie dividing 69 by 3 and Esin dividing 66 by 3. This visual approach helps students to grasp the concept of sharing a number into equal parts. The presentation also includes reasoning tasks where students must evaluate whether a division has been done correctly, such as Zach's attempt to divide 48 by 4 and Esin's division of 69 by 3. These tasks challenge students to explain their reasoning and correct any mistakes. The lesson concludes with independent work, encouraging students to apply the methods they've learned to solve division calculations, and a discussion on how to partition numbers and use place value charts effectively in division.
