The quotient is the result after division has taken place.

Explain each part of a division equation and know how they can be interchanged

Maths

In this unit pupils will double and halve 2 digit numbers. They will learn to use times table facts to find the quotient for 2x 5x 10x tables. Pupils will learn each part of a division equation and how they can be interchanged.  In the future unit pupils will solve multiplication and division problems using knowledge of the relationships between the 2x 4x 8x tables.

In the prior unit pupils learned how a multiplication equation with 2 as a factor related to doubling and how a division equation with 2 as a divisor related to halving. They explained the relationship between factors and products. In this unit pupils will double and halve 2 digit numbers. They will learn to use times table facts to find the quotient for 2x 5x 10x tables. 

Doubling, halving, quotative and partitive division

Match the different parts in each of these equations. What is the dividend, the divisor and the quotient?
30 ÷ 10 = 3


Match the different parts in each of these equations. What is the dividend, the divisor and the quotient?
7 = 35 ÷ 5


Sofia has already recorded the multiplication for an array. What is the related division equation? 6 × 5 = 30 

Match the related multiplication and division equations. 

 Lucas says, ‘I can multiply the numbers in any order because multiplication is commutative’. Is he correct or incorrect? 

Sofia shares 40 friendship bracelets that she made between 10 of her friends. How many bracelets will they get each?
