Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit number using formal written short division where appropriate, interpreting remainders according to context
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Dividing by two-digit numbers means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- 24 counters
- Paper and pencil
Extra for the adult
Worked example. 12 counters into 3 equal groups makes 4 in each. Write 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
Optional challenge. For Dividing by two-digit numbers, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Dividing by two-digit numbers, not mastery.

Check understanding
- Use short division to compute 3,648 ÷ 16 efficiently
- Explain when short division is more appropriate than long division
- Interpret a remainder as a decimal or fraction in a measurement context
“Can your child use short division to work out something like '2,184 ÷ 12' — keeping track of each digit and carrying any remainders into the next column?”
