Multiplication and Division (2) - Divide 3-digits by 1 -digit - Starter

In the Year 5 Spring Term maths curriculum, students engage with a variety of exercises to master division and understand the concept of exchanging in calculations. One activity involves dividing a three-digit number by a one-digit number, where students must fill in the blanks to determine the correct number of ones required for exchange and the leftovers after division. For example, in the calculation 95 divided by 4, pupils must work out the exchange process and the remainder. Another task prompts students to convert amounts between pounds and pence to compare values, such as £28.37 to 2,871p, and to identify if one amount is greater, less than, or equal to the other.

Additionally, the students practice subtraction by working through problems that involve larger numbers, such as subtracting 782 from 8,234, and they must comprehend the subtraction of complex numbers like subtracting 957 ones from a number consisting of thirteen ones, nine thousands, and twenty tens. The exercises also include completing calculations that require understanding the place value of hundreds, tens, and ones, where students add together columns of numbers to find the sum. These activities not only reinforce arithmetic skills but also develop the pupils' ability to perform exchanges and understand the relationship between different units of measurement in the context of the British currency system.
