Divide whole numbers or decimals

Sharing a value into equal groups is not the same as taking the divisor away from it once. The wrong answers on this skill are built out of that, not out of random numbers, so it is worth naming out loud before your child meets it under time pressure.

Point at the next move rather than explaining the whole rule. Read what A is worth off the line first, then share that amount equally between 7 groups.

The skill map draws the line here: Excludes selecting division from context. A question past that line is testing a different named maths skill, which is worth knowing before you spend a week practising the wrong one.

The number strand holds 13 skills that are tested together, and the pages next to divide whole numbers or decimals are evaluate a mixed expression, find a sequence term and multiply whole numbers or decimals. Each has its own exercise and its own link, and none of them needs an account.

Use Decimal Divider, embedded on this page. It is the exercise the skill map attaches to divide whole numbers or decimals, it runs in the browser with no account to make, nothing is scored, and nothing a child does here is recorded or sent anywhere. It also has its own link, so you can send it to a child without sending them anywhere else first.
