This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and is due on Thursday 18 October.
I can solve division problems.
The children have a selection of questions we’ve worked on in class to have a go at on their own at home. The first row test whether they can divide by a single digit and understand the context of the problem. They might need to give their answer as a remainder, a decimal or a fraction.
The second row is an opportunity for them to practise diving by 2 digits using the factor pair method and the third requires them to use the chunking method. The children should be able to explain these methods to you but you can see the chunking method for yourself by watching our Calculations Video on division.
