I can divide using partitioning and representations (multiple regroups and remainder)

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. If the hundreds number is not a multiple of the divisor then the remainder is regrouped for tens.
  2. If the tens number is not a multiple of the divisor then the remainder is regrouped for ones.
  3. If the ones number is not a multiple of the divisor then there will be a remainder in the answer.
  4. Regrouping and remainders can be represented practically using place value counters.

Common misconception

Pupils may not regroup correctly.

Ask pupils what each digit represents. Continue to use skip counting when dividing each digit in the dividend.

Keywords

  • Remainder - A remainder is an amount left over after division.

  • Partitioning - Partition means splitting a number into parts.

  • Regroup / regrouping - The process of unitising and exchanging between place values is known as regrouping.

Begin by playing a game which encourages pupils to think of the highest multiple they know of a number. During the lesson, pupils should use part whole models to partition into parts that are helpful for the division equation.
