Bus Passengers

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and record how to use written methods to divide two, three and four digit numbers with remainders to find the number of buses required for groups of passengers.
The class can explain how to interpret the remainders when calculating the correct numbers of buses to match the groups of travelling passengers.
Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and record how to use written methods to divide two, three and four digit numbers with remainders to find the number of buses required for groups of passengers
Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to identify and record how to use standard methods for written division calculation to calculate the number of buses required for groups of passengers by two, three and four digit numbers.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use written methods to divide two, three and four digit numbers with remainders to find the number of buses required for groups of passengers.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to explain and model how to use standard written methods for long division to solve problems when calculating the matching quotients including with remainders. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
