Division with remainders (age 10+)
Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit divisor using formal written long division, interpreting remainders as whole numbers, fractions, or by rounding as appropriate
Suggested ages 10–11
Learning journey
Your child is advancing to sophisticated multiplication and division — using formal written methods for complex calculations, working with decimals, and applying the order of operations to solve multi-step problems.
Evidence of understanding
- Compute 4,752 ÷ 13 using long division and express the remainder as a fraction
- Decide whether to round up or down a division remainder in a real-life context (e.g. buses needed)
- Explain each step of the long division algorithm for a 4-digit ÷ 2-digit calculation
Assessment prompt
Can Division with remainders (age 10+) use long division to work out something like '1,848 ÷ 24' — going through the steps of divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down until they reach the answer?
