In this lesson, children use formal long division. They will build on dividing 3-digit numbers to divide 4-digit numbers. There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.

National Curriculum Objectives: Mathematics Year 6: 

multiply multi-digit numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long multiplication divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long division, and interpret remainders as whole number remainders, fractions, or by rounding, as appropriate for the context divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit number using the formal written method of short division where appropriate, interpreting remainders according to the context perform mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers identify common factors, common multiples and prime numbers use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the 4 operations solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division use estimation to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, an appropriate degree of accuracy

Differentiation: There are three levels of differentiation in this pack: ‘working towards,’ ‘expected’ and ‘greater depth’.

Level of this Pack: Age: 10-11  England & Wales: Year 6  Scotland: Primary 6  Rep. Ireland: Fifth Class  Australia: Grade 5  USA: Grade 5
