Lesson Details

Key learning points

When we are dividing by 10, you can use the 10 times table to find the number of groups or the number in each group.
3 tens are equal to 30, so 30 divided into groups of 10 is equal to 3
3 tens are equal to 30, so 30 divided into 10 groups is equal to 3 in each group.

Common misconception

Children misunderstanding the difference between partitive and quotative division when discussing the problems.

Although they will result in the correct answers, the calculation itself will not accurately reflect the problem. Ensure children initially describe each problem and represent it visually so that they can see whether they are grouping or sharing.
