Max Maths, Year 5, Try it, Dividing 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers

In the Max Maths Year 5 curriculum, students are encouraged to develop their division skills by working through exercises that involve dividing 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers using long division. The 'Let's Try It' section provides a starting point, where students are tasked to complete two problems: 207 divided by 3, and 532 divided by 4. This exercise is designed to help students become familiar with the long division method, which requires them to break down the division process into more manageable steps and understand how to handle remainders if they occur.

The 'Let's Practise' section further reinforces these skills with a series of more challenging problems. Students are given a range of 3-digit numbers to divide by 1-digit numbers, including 255 ÷ 3, 370 ÷ 5, 392 ÷ 7, and 532 ÷ 2. They also tackle larger numbers such as 1,196 ÷ 4, 3,876 ÷ 6, 7,503 ÷ 3, 8,205 ÷ 5, and 8,238 ÷ 6. These exercises provide ample opportunity for students to apply the long division technique and become proficient at it. For further practice and detailed explanations, students are directed to workbook pages 99 to 101, ensuring they have the resources to master the concept of long division.
