5. Arrays as a tool for solving answers 18 ÷ 6 = 3 18 ÷ 3 = 6 Link with multiplication

6. Using tens and units to solve division problems 48

7. Arrays to find answers with a remainder http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/node/47759?uc=force_uj

8. Remainders: Rounding up or rounding down 6 children fit around a picnic bench. How many benches will I need for 26 children? Cinema tickets cost £6 each. How many tickets can I buy if I have got £26?

9. Solving division problems How many boxes of 6 eggs do I have if I have 36 eggs altogether? Notation: 36 ÷ 6 = Array: Using known facts: I know that 6 x 6 = 36, so 36 ÷ 6 = 6 Jottings: 612 18 24 30 36

11. Ideas to help children at home Share out a certain number of objects between toys or family members. How many does each person get? Continue to practise counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and extend to 3s, 4s, etc. with KS1 children when ready Cut up sandwiches, cakes, pizzas, etc. into halves or quarters and ensure each part is equal Ask children to solve ‘real–life’ division problems and explain how they solved it Encourage children to use their own jottings to record their work and help demonstrate their thinking Support older children with the ‘÷’ notation Support Year 2 children with thinking about when to ‘round up’ or ‘round down’ a remainder
