This part is for grown-ups: the trick that makes these facts easy, pictures to draw, what to say, common mistakes, questions with answers and a free worksheet.

The trick: choose the best strategy

Children who divide fluently within 100 do not use one method for everything. They look at the divisor and choose: halve for ÷ 2, halve twice for ÷ 4 and three times for ÷ 8, drop the 0 for ÷ 10, double and divide by 10 for ÷ 5, and think of the times table for the rest. With practice, the strategy becomes so quick that it feels like remembering.

Patterns to spot

Draw these on paper or a whiteboard. Seeing the counters makes the fact stick.

24 ÷ 6: four jumps of 6 back to 0, so 24 ÷ 6 = 4.

48 in 6 rows of 8: 48 ÷ 6 = 8 and 48 ÷ 8 = 6.

Facts you already know

There are 100 division facts from 1 ÷ 1 to 100 ÷ 10, but your child knows most of them already. Dividing by 1 and by 10, a number divided by itself, and halving for ÷ 2 cover almost 40 facts. Fact families halve the rest. That leaves about 15 facts to practice, such as 42 ÷ 6, 54 ÷ 9, 56 ÷ 7 and 72 ÷ 8, and each one has a strategy.

In real life: Division is everywhere at home: “48 pages in 6 days: how many pages a day?” “A pack of 36 pencils for 4 children: how many each?” Party planning, sharing pocket money and splitting bills all use these facts.

Worked examples

Example 1: 48 ÷ 6 by thinking multiplication

  1. Ask: 6 times what is 48?
  2. 6 × 8 = 48.
  3. So 48 ÷ 6 = 8.

Example 2: 64 ÷ 8 by halving

  1. 64 → 32 → 16 → 8.
  2. Three halvings, so 64 ÷ 8 = 8.

Example 3: a word problem

  1. “A coach has 72 seats in rows of 9.
  2. How many rows?”
  3. 72 ÷ 9: think 9 × 8 = 72.
  4. So 8 rows.
  5. Check: 8 × 9 = 72.

Common mistakes

Always skip countingCounts in 7s all the way to 63 and loses track.Fix: use the fact family: 7 × 9 = 63, so 63 ÷ 7 = 9.
Mixing the orderWrites 6 ÷ 54 = 9.Fix: always start with the bigger number: 54 ÷ 6 = 9.
Muddling similar factsSays 54 ÷ 6 = 8 and 48 ÷ 6 = 9.Fix: check by multiplying: 6 × 9 = 54 and 6 × 8 = 48.

What to say to your child

A short script for your first session. Pause after each line and let your child answer.

  1. “What is 36 ÷ 4? Which trick would you use?” (Halve twice!)
  2. “36 → 18 → 9. So 9.” “What about 36 ÷ 9?” (The partner: 4!)
  3. “How about 42 ÷ 6?” (6 × 7 = 42, so 7!)
  4. “And 70 ÷ 10?” (Drop the 0: 7!)
  5. “Choosing the right trick makes every fact quick.”
