Multiplication and Division - Divide 3-digits by 1-digit - Worksheet

The worksheets provided are designed to help Year 6 students master the skill of dividing 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. The exercises begin with partially completed part-whole models and examples of flexible partitioning, providing students with hints on how to partition their calculations. This scaffolding assists children in understanding the concept of division as they work through the problems. They are given empty part-whole models to fill in and incomplete flexible partitioning calculations to finish, which then leads to independent question-solving. The method encourages students to break down the numbers into hundreds, tens, and ones to simplify the division process.

Further tasks require students to apply their knowledge to new division calculations using the place value chart method. They are prompted to write down the division calculation that the chart represents and then complete the part-whole model accordingly. For example, dividing 600 by 3, 30 by 3, and 0 by 3, and similarly with other combinations. The aim is to foster fluency and precision in their mathematical reasoning. The worksheets also include answers, allowing students to check their work and understand where they may have gone wrong, thus reinforcing learning and aiding in the correction of any misconceptions. Flexible partitioning is a key strategy throughout, enabling students to tackle division problems systematically and build confidence in their arithmetic skills.
