Multiplication and Division (2) - Divide 4-digits by 1 -digit - Worksheet

The worksheet provided is designed to help Year 5 students master the concept of dividing 4-digit numbers by a 1-digit number. It introduces them to the use of place value counters as a visual aid to group numbers and develop their understanding of the short division method. The worksheet is divided into various activities where children use completed place value grids to find the results of division, identify missing parts in the place value chart, and tackle more complex division questions with incomplete charts that require more exchanges.

Each activity on the worksheet encourages students to use fluency and precision in their calculations, employing place value counters and short division techniques. For example, students are presented with numbers such as 6482 divided by 2 or 9036 divided by 3, and they must complete the calculations accordingly. The worksheet is structured to progressively challenge the students, starting with basic division exercises and leading up to real-world problems, such as calculating how much water can fill a pool in an hour or determining the daily number of stamps sold by a post office over a week. These practical scenarios help students apply their mathematical skills to everyday situations, enhancing their problem-solving abilities.
