Lesson details
Key learning points

- If the tens number is not a multiple of the divisor then the remainder is regrouped for ones.
- If the ones number is not a multiple of the divisor then there will be a remainder in the answer.
- The partial quotients are recorded above the dividend in the correct place value columns.
