Lesson details
Key learning points
- Different strategies can be used to solve division problems.
- Multiplication facts are really useful in solving division problems.
- Known facts and place value can help to estimate the answer to a long division.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to set out the long division algorithm correctly.
Use the modelling from the lesson to focus on this, especially when writing multiples of the divisor (e.g. 3 tens × 17 = 51 tens) and subtracting this from the dividend.
