Long Division 2 Lesson

This Year 6 Long Division 2 lesson covers the prior learning of dividing a 3-digit number by a 2-digit number using long division, before moving onto the main skill of using long division to divide 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers.

The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
