Multiplication and Division (2) - Division with remainders (1) - Worksheet

The worksheet focuses on enhancing Year 5 students' understanding of division with remainders, a concept initially introduced in Year 4. Utilising place value counters, the children continue to refine their skills in the short division method. The exercises are designed to help students grasp the concept of remainders within a practical context. The worksheet presents various division problems where students are required to determine the result of dividing numbers, which includes finding the remainder after division. This approach helps to solidify their comprehension of division as not always resulting in whole numbers, and the importance of remainders in certain calculations.

Further activities on the worksheet encourage students to identify missing elements in division problems, thereby reinforcing their understanding of the division process and its components. Additionally, the worksheet includes reasoning questions that challenge students to apply their knowledge to more complex scenarios involving the division of 4-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers, again with remainders. The exercises are designed to promote fluency and precision in mathematical calculations, ensuring that children become adept at both the mechanics of division and the conceptual understanding of remainders. The worksheet also includes a section for students to complete calculations using place value counters and short division, providing a structured and visual method to support their learning.
