Division in Year 5

Mental arithmetic is still very important in Year 5 with children consolidating dividing by 10 and 100 before going on to divide large numbers by 1,000.
In Year 5 it all comes together, as children use the formal written method of short division to divide numbers up to 4-digits by a 1-digit number, interpret remainders appropriately, depending on the context as well as solving written division problems.
We have a great selection of resources to help with all of the above, plus some excellent on-screen activities for unlimited practice, found in our Maths Games categories.
