Dividing Larger Numbers Worksheet

🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To divide larger numbers using place-value and chunking

📚 Worked Examples

Example 1: 84 ÷ 4 using chunking

Step 1: Take away chunks of 4 × 10 = 40

84 - 40 = 44 (that's 1 ten)

Step 2: Take away another chunk: 44 - 40 = 4 (that's another 1 ten)

Step 3: 4 ÷ 4 = 1. Answer: 10 + 10 + 1 = 21

Example 2: 126 ÷ 3 using place-value

Step 1: 120 ÷ 3 = 40 (12 tens ÷ 3 = 4 tens)

Step 2: 6 ÷ 3 = 2 (6 ones ÷ 3 = 2 ones)

Step 3: 40 + 2 = 42

Answer: 126 ÷ 3 = 42
