This week the children have been working on their division skills. To support children's understanding we have been ensuring they have a chance to work practically, draw pictures and use their known number facts (times tables) to help work out answers.
At home, try sharing items out between a given number of people. Try writing this as a division statement. Also try drawing a picture to show a division. For 20 divided by 4, draw 4 stick men and then share the 20 out equally between the 4 stick men. The answer is how many they get each. Children will then be ready to divide by 2, 5 or 10 using their times table facts as opposites. At home this week you can practice the 2 times table using the cards provided for home learning.
