This week in Maths, we’ve been working hard on developing our understanding of division. We’ve been using our knowledge of multiplication facts to help us solve division problems, making links between the two concepts.
Help at home:
To further support your child at home, please continue practising the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, as this will really help build their confidence and fluency. You can also support your child by creating simple, real-life division problems for them to solve in everyday situations.
Here are some suggestions to try:
- Sharing snacks:
“We have 10 biscuits and 2 people. How many biscuits will each person get?” - At dinner time:
“There are 15 chips and 3 people. Can you share them equally?” - Tidying toys:
“You have 20 LEGO pieces. Can you put them into groups of 5? How many groups will you make?” - Setting the table:
“We have 10 forks and 5 people. How many forks does each person get?” - Shopping or unpacking food:
“We bought 6 yoghurts for 3 days. How many can we have each day?” - Grouping objects:
Use small items like coins or buttons:
“Can you make groups of 2 from 12 coins? How many groups are there?”
