Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division - Division- 4-digits by 1 digit - Worksheet

The worksheet focuses on teaching children the concept of division, specifically dividing 4-digit numbers by a single digit. To facilitate understanding, it employs the use of place value counters, which help children visually group numbers according to their place value. This hands-on approach aids in grasping the short division method, a crucial arithmetic skill. The worksheet guides students through various exercises where they must complete place value grids and find the results of division problems. These tasks are designed to reinforce the use of the short division method and to help children identify missing parts in the place value chart, including more complex scenarios where exchanges are necessary.

For practical application, the worksheet includes fluency and precision exercises, where students must complete calculations using both place value counters and the short division technique. Examples of the tasks include dividing numbers like 64822 and 90363 by single digits, which are laid out in a place value grid format, including thousands (Th), hundreds (H), tens (T), and ones (O). To ensure a comprehensive understanding, the worksheet also presents real-life problems, such as determining how much water can be filled in an 8244 cubic metre pool in one hour, or how many stamps a post office sold each day if they sold 8386 stamps during the week. These problems aim to contextualise the division skills in everyday situations, enhancing the learning experience.
