I am learning to solve division problems using repeated addition and multiplication facts I know.
1. Draw the jumps and find the answer to:
18 ÷ 3 = 18 ÷ 6 = 18 ÷ 2 =
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
2.Draw the jumps using an empty number line to solve these problems:
30 ÷ 3 = 30 ÷ 5 = 30 ÷ 6 =
0 30
3. Solve these equations using repeated addition & multiplication facts you know.
15 ÷ 3 = 16 ÷ 4 = 45 ÷ 5 = 49 ÷ 7 =

Re-write these division problems as a multiplication problem, then solve them.
45 ÷ 5 = as 5 x = 45 44 ÷ 4 = as 4 x = 44
42 ÷ 6 = as 6 x = 42 54 ÷ 6 = as 6 x = 54
24 ÷ 3 = as 3 x = 24 63 ÷ 9 = as 9 x = 63
32 ÷ 8 = as 36 ÷ 9 = as
18 ÷ 3 = as 72 ÷ 9 = as
24÷ 6 = as 35 ÷ 7 = as
I am learning to solve multiplication problems using doubling and halving
Colour the faces to show 6 x 4 Colour the faces to show 3 x 8
6 x 4 = 3 x 8 =
Can you use this idea of doubling one number and halving the other to make these multiplication problems easier?
3 x 16 is the same as x so 3 x 16 =
24 x 3 is the same as x so 24 x 3 =
3 x 18 is the same as x so 3 x 18 =
14 x 50 is the same as x so 14 x 50 =
6 482 x 5 is the same as x so 6482 x 5 =
86 x 50 is the same as x so 86 x 50 =
I am learning to solve multiplication problems using a variety of mental strategies
Look at how the following children solved this problem.
Each loaf of bread has 38 slices.
There are eight loaves. How many slices
of bread are there altogether?
Karen did /Shifa did
/Kalama did
8 x 30 is 240.8 x 8 is 64.
So the answer is 240 + 64 which is 304. / 8 x 40 is 320, but as there are only 38 slices and not 40 I have to take off 2 x 8 which is 16.
So 320 – 16 = 304 / If there were 10 loaves that would be 10 x 38 – 380. But as there are only 8 loaves I have to take off 2 x 38 = 76, so the answer is 304
Write how you think each child would solve the following problem.
Leonardo was selling his paintings for $48 each.
He sold 9 of them. How much money did he make altogether?

I am learning to solve division problems using how many times one number will go into another
Sue had 96 sweets that were wrapped in packets of 6.
How many packets of sweets did she have? ______
To make this problem easier, think how many packets she would have if the sweets were wrapped in packets of 2. (i.e. divide 96 by 2). Then because that would provide 3 times as many packets, you will need to divide the total by 3.
So 96 6 (96 2) 3 48 3 16
Jill has 72 lollies wrapped in packets of 4. How many packets does she have?
If the lollies were wrapped in packets of 8 there would be 9 packets as 72 8 = 9 . So to find packets of 4, what would you need to do? Use the diagram below to help.
So 72 4 = because 72 8 x

I am learning to solve division problems that have remainders
Remainders can be expressed as what is “left over” or as fractions or as decimals.
E.g. 52 ÷ 5 could be expressed as either: 10 r2 or 10 2/5 or 10.4
Solve these word problems, by thinking about the problem as a number sentence and choosing how best to describe the remainder. The first one is done for you.
