Learning to Divide (÷)
Learning Objective |
Clip to support understanding |
|
|
|
|
|
Video (two methods are shown-counting up in multiples or using knowledge of times tables) |
|
|
e.g. 6÷3 six divided by three, six shared between three, how many 3’s in 6.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q. Why multiply? X is the opposite or inverse of ÷ |
|
|
|
6 sweets shared between 2 people, how many do they each get? |
|
Children can count up to their final number of start at that number and count back to 0. |
|
81 ÷3
60÷3=20 21÷3=7 final answer =27
Partition the 81 into two number s that are multiples of 3 (60 and 21) |
Video (partitioning is the second method on this clip) |
Once a child has developed good number sense, they will be able to partition and solve the calculation mentally, without any need to record their working out on paper. |
Video (see the first method on this clip for the bus stop method and then the second method for partitioning which should lead on to mental calculating) |
