Lesson details
Key learning points
- A remainder is always less than the divisor.
- The remainder, the part left over, is written after the quotient and represented with an ‘r’.
- Listing multiples of the divisor improves efficiency and accuracy with written division methods.
Keywords
Long division - Long division is a method used for dividing large numbers by breaking the number down into smaller groups.
Remainder - A remainder is an amount left after a division.
Common misconception
Pupils may not make efficient use of multiplication facts when answering long division problems, especially 10 or 100 times the divisor.
Encourage pupils to make estimations using multiplication facts. Once the multiplication facts are completed, they could be used to ask quick-fire questions (e.g. what is 20 × 18? 50 × 18? 200 × 18?)
