The quotient is the result after division has taken place.

Explain how a dividend of zero affects the quotient

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

We know that when one of the factors is zero, the product is __________.

When the dividend is zero, the __________ is zero.

What is the missing dividend?

{{ }} ÷ 5 = 0 

Match the equations to the correct answers. 


Lucas wants to share some bananas between 5 people. If we have 0 bananas to share, how many bananas will each person get?
