Lesson details
Key learning points
- Partitioning the dividend into tens and ones helps when dividing a 2-digit by a 1-digit number.
- If the dividend is not a multiple of the divisor, there will be a remainder.
- If the remainder is a number of tens, you can regroup the tens for ones and continue to divide.
Keywords
Remainder - An amount left over after division.
Partition / partitioning - Splitting a number into smaller parts.
Regroup / regrouping - The process of unitising and exchanging between place values.
Common misconception
Pupils not being able to regroup when dividing.
Use concrete resources to highlight regrouping of tens. Ask children 'What is the highest multiple you know?' to support with partitioning.
Draw special attention to the '10s' digit and ask children if that is a multiple of the divisor. Children are to understand the generalisation '10s' digit in the dividend is not a multiple of the divisor, they will have to regroup.
