Division

Understanding division and beginning to divide by 2, 5 and 10.

If tables are known ‘off by heart’ then division becomes much easier! Our superb range of resources can really help with understanding division. Beginning with finding halves and then division by grouping, children will soon understand that division is the inverse of multiplication. By the end of the year they will even be carrying out simple division calculations with remainders in the answer.
