Mental division Quiz

The KS2Gems 2022 Year 6 Multiplication and Division Quiz 2 is a mental arithmetic challenge designed to test students' ability to perform mental calculations efficiently. The objective of this quiz is to encourage pupils to quickly and accurately divide large numbers without the use of calculators or written methods. This set of questions is tailored to assess the mental division skills that are expected of students at the end of Key Stage 2.

The quiz comprises ten questions, each focusing on different division problems that range from simple to more complex. For instance, students are asked to mentally calculate the result of dividing numbers such as 6000 by 12, and 4800 by 8, which requires a good understanding of division facts and place value. Additionally, the quiz includes problems where the divisor is unknown, such as 660 divided by what number equals 11, and 24,000 divided by what number equals 3000, challenging students to think inversely about division. The answers provided at the end of the quiz allow for immediate self-assessment, enabling students to check their understanding and identify areas for improvement.
