1. To divide larger numbers
I can divide by chunking

2. If you had a large bag of sweets how would you share them?
Consider 450 sweets ÷ 30 children You can see that there are a lot more than 30 sweets so the children would get more than one each. Could we give them 10 each? Yes! 10 x 30 = 300 so we have enough.

3. Have we shared them all?
No we still have some left to share. 450 – 300 = 150 So we have 150 sweets left to share next. Can we give them 10 each again? No! 10 x 30=300 we don’t have enough. Can we give them 5 each? Yes! 5 x 30 = 150

4. Let’s picture it.

5. How many sweets does each child have?

6. So 450 ÷ 30 = 15
How we write our working out ) (10x30) (5x30) 0

7. Now try 340 ÷ 20 =
17 20 ) (10x20) (5x20) (2x20) 0

8. Now try these 
320 ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ 60
