Frequently Asked Questions

The 'bus stop' method is the formal written technique for short division that gets its name from the shape created when you draw the division bracket over the dividend. This method allows Year 5 pupils to systematically work through dividing larger numbers by breaking them down digit by digit, making it much easier to handle than trying to do the entire calculation mentally.
