Arrays for multiplication (age 9+)
Mathematics · Multiplication & Division · procedural
Divide numbers up to four digits by a one-digit number using short division (and place-value/array strategies); interpret remainders appropriately for the context
What mastery looks like
- Calculate 4,932 ÷ 6 using short division
- Solve 125 ÷ 8 and interpret: 15 remainder 5 means 15 full bags with 5 left over
- Use the multiplication–division relationship to check a division answer
Check your understanding
Can Arrays for multiplication (age 9+) use the short division ('bus stop') method to work out something like '2,457 ÷ 6', and decide what to do with any remainder left over?
