Division Learning

Division is often a process which kids often find quite difficult and hard to learn. Kids need to learn what division is before they start formal work on dividing numbers.

Sharing things out, such as counters, between pretend people or cuddly toys is a great way to start your child on their division journey so that they have a basic understanding of what division is. Putting counters into same-size groups is also another way to reinforce division as a model for both sharing and grouping.

When your child is confident with sharing and they have a good understanding of division, they can start learning their division facts and the long division method.

Once they have mastered long division dividing numbers by a single digit, they can start dividing numbers by 2 digits, and begin to learn to divide decimal numbers.
