What to practise

  • Use short daily drills to build automatic retrieval.
  • Mix untimed explanation rounds with faster accuracy rounds.
  • Track weak patterns and revisit them every 2–3 days.

Teaching tips

  • Link each division fact directly to a matching multiplication fact.
  • Practise with arrays and grouped sets before abstract symbols.
  • Use short daily drills to keep fact recall automatic.

How to work it out

Step-by-step worked examples to talk through together.

24 ÷ 6 = ?

  1. 1 Think: 6 × ? = 24
  2. 2 6 × 4 = 24
  3. 3 So 24 ÷ 6 = 4

45 ÷ 9 = ?

  1. 1 Use the 9× table: 9 × 5 = 45
  2. 2 So 45 ÷ 9 = 5

Quick tips for parents & teachers

  • Always link division to multiplication — they are inverse operations.
  • Use grouping models ("How many groups of 6 in 24?") before abstract symbols.
  • Celebrate when children use multiplication to check their division answers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should we practise this topic?

Most learners improve with 10–15 minutes on most school days.

Should we focus only on weak questions?

Prioritise weak areas, but keep a mix of secure questions to maintain confidence.

How do we know when to move on?

Move on when speed and accuracy are both stable across multiple sessions.
