Dividing 2 Digits by 1 Digit - Using Flexible Partitioning WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 3
Learning objective: Mental methods for division of a two digit number by a single digit

Dividing 2 Digits by 1 Digit - Using Flexible Partitioning WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Learners will use their knowledge of multiplication and division facts of the 3, 4 and 5 times tables in order to mentally divide two digit numbers by single digits throughout this worksheet.

There are four sections for pupils to work through. Sections A, B and C all focus on dividing numbers by either 3, 4 or 5. There is a reminder of division facts within each times table followed by students flexibly partitioning numbers in order to divide them. The aim here is for students to use their knowledge of the multiples of each divisor.

Section D provides children with the chance to reason and problem solve.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Flexible partitioning means breaking down two-digit numbers in clever ways that make mental division easier, rather than always splitting into tens and ones. For example, when dividing 36 by 3, pupils might partition it as 30 + 6 or 15 + 21, choosing whichever split uses multiples they know well from their times tables. This method builds on pupils' existing knowledge of multiplication facts to make division calculations more manageable.
