Are you looking for resources to further challenge children's understanding of long division? Then look no further! This Year 6 Long Division 1 Discussion Problem includes two questions to stretch pupils' dividing skills. The first includes identifying which delivery trucks four bakeries could use to export their products across the country for 'National Baking Week'. The second includes a hidden digit with clues.

Both questions are open-ended allowing for discussion about possible solutions. A modelled answer is included with one answer provided which can be used to support pupils to find an alternative solution.


Curriculum Objectives

  • Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit number using the formal written method of short division where appropriate, interpreting remainders according to the context
  • Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
