Parents Guide to
Dividing by 10 & 100
This Power Point Presentation will
Show Parents the Language We Use
When Teaching Children How to Divide
By 10 and 100
Organising numbers:
We organise numbers in columns like
this:
H
T
Hundreds Tens
U
Units
Only a single figure can go into each
column.
Organising numbers:
After working with Thousands, Hundreds, Tens
and Units the children are introduced to
larger numbers

As always, only a single figure can go into each
column.
Organising numbers:
We encourage the children to look at the
numbers in groups of 3 digits.
First look at the:
HTU
Then look at the : HTh TTh Th

The 3 noughts in the HTU says ‘thousand’
Now read the HTh TTh and Th columns: 356 says ‘three hundred and
fifty six’ this is the number of thousands.
The complete number says:
Three hundred and fifty six thousand.

Every time we see three zeros in the HTU columns we say ‘thousand.’
For the number above the number of thousands is one hundred and thirty
seven.
So the whole number reads:
One hundred and thirty seven thousand.

After some practice with hundreds of thousands, the children are introduced to
millions.
We point out that to have a million we need one figure plus 6 zeros.
To make the larger numbers we use a space to separate each group of 3
numbers.
1 000 000 one million
2 000 000 two million

To divide by ten we move the figures one place to the right to make
the number smaller.
The decimal point never moves.
We read the colums like this:
Hundreds Tens Units Decimal Point tenths hundredths

432 divided by 10 is 43.2
We have moved each digit one place to the right to divide by ten.
We read the answer by saying, ‘forty three point two.’

We have moved each digit one place to the right to divide by ten.
We read the answer by saying, ‘six point one.’

We use this same method to find 10%.
10% of 57 is 5.7
We read the number as five point seven

To divide by hundred we move the figures two places to the right to
make the number smaller.
We say, “There are 2 noughts in one hundred so we move 2 places.”

This time we move the figures 2 places to the right because there

We read the number as two point nine seven

This time we move the figures 1 place to the left because
multiplying makes the number bigger.
Notice that a zero needs to be added into the units column as the
movement of the digits has left this column empty.

The same method is used for multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 & 1000.
We use the amount of noughts in the number to remind us of how
many spaces to move each digit.

Move 1 place

Move 2 places
1000
Move 3 places
Remember : the decimal point never moves
