In Year 6 children should get plenty of practice with written methods of division. There are two methods, long division and short division, and children should be familiar with both. In many ways long division is the easier of the two as each step is carefully laid down whilst short division is a contracted form of the long method.

There are plenty of opportunities to make a slip-up with both these methods and children really need to take care. We have a good selection of pages on both these methods. Why not take a look now?
