Lesson details
Key learning points
- Partitioning the dividend into hundreds, tens and ones helps when dividing a 3-digit by a 1-digit number.
- Use times tables and unitising to divide the hundreds, tens and ones by the divisor.
- Place value resources can represent the division.
Keywords
Dividend - The dividend is the amount that you want to divide.
Divisor - A divisor is the number we divide by.
Partial quotient - A partial quotient is seen when the dividend is partitioned.
Partition - Partition means splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.
Quotient - A quotient is the result after division has taken place.
Common misconception
Lack of understanding of place value may lead to the rise of incorrect partial quotients.
Encourage children to identify what each digit represents. If misconceptions persist - use place value counters to divide by skip counting.
