Max Maths, Year 5, Work Book, Dividing 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers

The 'Max Maths' Year 5 workbook offers a practical approach to mastering division, with a specific focus on dividing 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. The exercises are designed to reinforce students' understanding of division through a series of practice questions. In Practice 1, students encounter a real-world application of division where Toby has to share money equally between himself and his two sisters. This problem-solving question is twofold: firstly, determining the total amount of money Toby received, and secondly, calculating the amount each person gets when the money is divided equally.

Following this, the workbook presents a set of division problems that require students to divide various 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. These include straightforward calculations such as 171 divided by 3 and 678 divided by 3, as well as slightly more complex divisions like 796 by 4 and 685 by 5. To further challenge the students and consolidate their division skills, another set of problems is provided where they must show their working out. These problems include dividing 748 by 4, 340 by 5, 522 by 6, and 259 by 7. By completing these exercises, students will enhance their numerical fluency and division proficiency, which are crucial skills for their mathematical development.
