Lesson Four – Decimal Division

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate and record the changes that can happen to the place value of the digits in a number when dividing by different multiples of ten to make decimal quotients.
The class can also devise some example grids to illustrate how a range of different two and three place decimal numbers can change when divided by ten, one hundred and one thousand.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate and record the changes that can happen to the place value of the digits in a number when dividing by different multiples of ten to make decimal quotients
Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated templates to record how to divide different three and four digit numbers for core and extension ability levels and four digit numbers for support ability levels by ten, one hundred and one thousand to show the changes to the place values of the digits in each number.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record changes to the place value of the digits in decimal numbers when dividing by different multiples of ten.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify and record changes to place value when multiplying and dividing decimals and whole numbers by ten, one hundred and one thousand. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
