In the third week of Autumn term for Year 6, the mathematics curriculum focuses on enhancing students' proficiency in long division, specifically dividing 3-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers without remainders. The lesson is structured to include a small step starter, class teaching input, independent learning, and a summarising plenary session. The resources provided for this lesson include worksheets and a presentation to facilitate learning. Key vocabulary terms such as 'division', 'dividing', 'long division', 'method', 'subtracting', 'dividend', 'quotient', 'multiples', and 'multiplying' are emphasised, with vocabulary cards and definitions available online for reinforcement.

The lesson begins with a recap of previous learning and a discussion on how long division differs from short division calculations covered in the previous week. Students are encouraged to identify key components of division problems and practice the long division method with a variety of calculations. The lesson plan includes group work activities that promote reasoning and identification of common errors, such as incorrect digit placement and column subtraction. Independent activities are differentiated to cater to varying levels of understanding. Students are prompted to reflect on their learning, the skills they employed, and what they found challenging, ensuring they consolidate their understanding of the long division written method. The lesson aims to build on students' knowledge progressively, with scaffolding provided for those working towards the expected level, and more challenging arithmetic calculations for those working at greater depth.
