Dividing by a 2-digit divisor with a remainder

I can divide by a 2-digit divisor and find the remainder.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. A remainder is always less than the divisor.
  2. The remainder, the part left over, is written after the quotient and represented with an ‘r’.
  3. 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?)

In this lesson, pupils calculate using long division and find the quotient and the remainder. The remainder is used to describe the part left over. Decide in advance how you would like this to be represented e.g. 'r3'.
