Multiplication and Division (1) - Divide by 100 - Worksheet

The worksheet "Divide by 100" is designed to help Year 6 students enhance their fluency and precision in mathematics by focusing on division by 100. The lesson aligns with the National Curriculum objective of using place value knowledge and mental calculation strategies for multiplication and division. To support learning, differentiated sheets, teaching slides, and Base 10 resources are employed. The key vocabulary includes terms such as division, place value, and calculations. The exercises encourage students to compare whole number answers after dividing by 100 and to explore the relationship between division by 10 and division by 100, as well as the effects on the value of digits when multiplying or dividing by 100. Pupils are asked to use a place value chart to understand the movement of digits during division and to formulate multiplication and division fact families involving the number 100.

The worksheet provides a variety of tasks, including straightforward division problems such as 200 ÷ 100, comparing calculations, and more complex activities that require reasoning and problem-solving skills. For example, students are asked to correct errors in conversions from centimetres to metres, highlighting common misconceptions, such as confusing division by 10 with division by 100. Another challenge presents a scenario where two characters, Tia and Esin, divide numbers by 10 and 100, and students must determine their methods and results. This encourages the application of mathematical concepts and deepens understanding through practical examples. The worksheet is structured to cater to different levels of ability, from those working towards expectations to those capable of greater depth in their understanding.
