🔢 Part 1: Understanding Splitting Strategy

1. Look at this example: 48 ÷ 4 = (40 ÷ 4) + (8 ÷ 4) = 10 + 2 = 12

Circle the correct answer: What does "splitting" mean in division?

Breaking the dividend into smaller, easier parts

Making the divisor bigger

Adding numbers together

Subtracting the divisor

2. Complete this splitting example:

36 ÷ 3 = (30 ÷ 3) + (_____ ÷ 3) = _____ + _____ = _____

✏️ Part 2: Guided Practice

3. Use the splitting strategy to solve: 72 ÷ 6

Show your work by splitting into tens and ones:

4. Solve using splitting strategy: 84 ÷ 4

Split the number and show each step:

5. Which of these show correct splitting? Check all that apply:

63 ÷ 3 = (60 ÷ 3) + (3 ÷ 3) = 20 + 1 = 21

45 ÷ 5 = (40 ÷ 5) + (5 ÷ 5) = 8 + 1 = 9

56 ÷ 7 = (50 ÷ 7) + (6 ÷ 7) = 7 + 1 = 8

42 ÷ 6 = (30 ÷ 6) + (12 ÷ 6) = 5 + 2 = 7

🎯 Part 3: Independent Practice

6. Use splitting strategy to solve these problems. Show your working:

a) 96 ÷ 8 =

b) 75 ÷ 5 =

c) 54 ÷ 6 =

7. Draw a diagram to show how you would split 48 ÷ 3:

🗣️ Part 4: Explaining Your Thinking

8. Fill in the blanks using division vocabulary:

When we use the splitting strategy, we break the __________ into smaller parts that are easier to divide. We split numbers using __________ value, separating the tens and ones. Then we divide each __________ separately and add the results together to get our final __________.

9. Match the division vocabulary with their meanings:

1. Dividend

2. Divisor

3. Split

4. Equal groups

A. The number we divide by

B. Groups with the same amount

C. Break into smaller parts

D. The number being divided

10. Explain in your own words why the splitting strategy is helpful for division:
