Frequently Asked Questions

The 'bus stop' method is the formal written technique for short division that Year 5 students learn to divide numbers systematically. It gets its name because the division layout resembles a bus stop shelter, with the divisor outside and the dividend underneath a horizontal line. This structured approach helps students work through dividing 2, 3 and 4-digit numbers by single digits in an organised way.
