Multiplication and Division (2) - Divide 2-digits by 1-digit (remainder) - Starter

The educational resource from Master the Curriculum focuses on enhancing Year 5 students' skills in division with remainders. The "Fluent in Four" revision segment is structured to solidify the understanding of dividing two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers. Students begin by tackling a calculation that requires them to divide the tens and ones separately, filling in the blanks to demonstrate comprehension of the process. For instance, when dividing 96 by 4, they are prompted to determine how many tens and ones are left after division, and to carry out an exchange if necessary, adding any remaining ones to find the complete answer.

Visual learners are catered for through pictorial representations that aid in grasping the division concept. For example, the illustration of 100s and 10s helps students visualize the division process and the resulting number. Additionally, the resource includes an exercise where students complete a table by shading in tenths and hundredths, reinforcing their understanding of place value and fractions. This hands-on approach not only encourages independent problem-solving but also builds foundational skills for more complex mathematical concepts. As part of the Spring Term curriculum, these activities are designed to ensure that by the end of Week 3, Day 1, students have a stronger grasp of division with remainders and are more confident in their mathematical abilities.
