Remember that 6 ÷ 3 means “how many threes make 6?” Use the grid to work out: 16 ÷ 4 30 ÷ 5 18 ÷ 2 45 ÷ 9 72 ÷ 8 21 ÷ 3 21 ÷ Your Turn = 4 = 6 = 9 = 5 = 9 = 7 = 3 ©

Find the answer to 468 ÷ 9 Set up the division: How many 9’s make 18? Traditional Short Division 2 = 52 ©
Work out: 164 ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ 17 Your Turn Pause while you have a go at these.... = 41 = 21 = 304 = 51 = 13 = 63 = 754 = 12 Ready...? ©
