    The document explains how to solve the division problem 15 ÷ 3 using a number line. It shows jumping along the number line in increments of 3, with the number of jumps equaling the answer of 5. It then uses the same method to solve 17 ÷ 4, showing the jumps of 4 with a remainder of 1, so the answer is 4 r 1. Finally, it poses two word problems about trophies on shelves and children on teams to solve using the same number line method.

    Division

    15 3 = ?

    We can solve this by jumping along a


    number line.
    15 3 =

    0 3

    We jump along in 3s – we use our 3


    times tables.
    15 3 =

    0 3 6
    15 3 =

    0 3 6 9
    15 3 =

    0 3 6 9 12
    15 3 =

    0 3 6 9 12 15
    15 3 =

    0 3 6 9 12 15

    How many jumps have you made?


    How many jumps have you made? 5

    0 3 6 9 12 15

    So 15 3 = 5
    What about 17  4?

    0 4
    0 4 8
    0 4 8 12
    0 4 8 12 16
    +1

    0 4 8 12 16 17
    +1

    0 4 8 12 16 17

    So 17  4 = 4r1
    Try to solve these real life problems
    using the method we have just used.

    David Beckham has 24 trophies.


    He puts 4 on every shelf.
    How many shelves can he fill?
    There are 48 children in Year 4.
    How many teams of 5 children can be made?
    How many children will be left over?
