Explanation
This is a number line method.
First you write the sum you are
doing.
Next you draw a neat ruler line.
Then at the start of the number line
you write the biggest number in your
sum.
You partition the smallest number in
your sum so it is easier to add.
Finally you do jumps of which ever
number you feel comfortable with.

Your smallest
number is 32 so you
partition 30 in to 3
tens and 2 in to 2
units.

First write your calculation.
Next write H.T.U.
Then you complete you addition.
First add the Units, then the Tens,
then the Hundreds.
You will do H.T.U as long as you go
down.
Finally add all of the digits in each
column to find your total.

• Write a addition sum.
• Partition the smallest number
that you have into hundreds,
tens and units etc. For
example 88+31=? Partition
the number 31 to 30 and 1.
• Then you do 88+30=118
because we partition the
number 31 to 30 and 1.
• Then you add 1 to your
answer which was 118.
• 118+1=119 because I got the
1from the 31.
• That's how we get the
answer.

•First you draw a line.
•Then you put the smallest number
at the beginning of the line and the
biggest number at the end.
•Next you have to use the opposite
operation which is addition. If you
add 4 to 16 you will get 20 which is
a multiple of 10.Multiples of 10 are
very easy to work with.

First start with the smallest number. Work
out how many units needs to be added to
this number to get it to the nearest
multiple of 10 when counting upwards.

After that you add 8 units because the
number that we are trying to get to is 78 so
we are at 70 and we need to add 8 more
units to get to 78.
60 = 4.
Next write the number you added (4) on
to 56 to get to 60 in the correct column on
a place value chart.

1. First you partition the
smallest number into
units, tens, hundreds
(etc.)
2. Then with the biggest
number you take away the
tens from it.
3. Finally with the answer

Counting on.
Counting on is an efficient strategy when
subtracting 2 numbers that are close together.
Red=32-28=
For example:
1002-997=
Amber=173-167=
Green=3562-3554=
In this example you have to round up the
smallest number which is 997 to 1000 (Add 3).
After that you have to count on from 1000 to
1002 (Add 2). Finally you add 3 and 2 together
which gives you your answer 5.

Times tables facts
Your times tables facts will really
help you know your times tables.
If you know how to double you can use your 3 times tables to find
your 6 times tables and you can use your 2 times tables to find your
4 times tables.
Knowing your times tables facts let you answer multiplication
problems easily. You can use your time tables facts to solve really
hard problems.

because it’s easier to
multiply by 10.

Step by step instructions:
(Ignore the 6 above 36 for now).
1) If your sum was 36 divided by
6 then this would be how you
lay it out:
• The number that you are
dividing by goes on the
left hand side of the box. 6
• Then you will put the
number that you are dividing
here. 6 36
2)We will have to use our
multiplication knowledge to
find out how many groups of 6
are in 36.
3)To make it easier we will do
6x3 because if you know your
multiplication facts the answer
is 18 which is less than
36.(While using the chunking
method, you cannot go over the
number you are dividing).

A remainder is
a number that
is leftover.
RAG:
R-48 divided by 4
A-67 divided by 8
G-74 divided by 6
4)Now we shall find the
difference between 36 and
18 which is 18.
• But we still haven’t got
our answer yet, so we
will do 6x3 again.
5)Now we have to find the
difference between 18 and
18 which is 0.
6)Now we need to add up
the numbers that we have
multiplied 6 by,(3 and 3)
which equals 6.
Our answer is 6 so write it
at the top!
Tip. If there is a remainder write
it like this: r 3 or whatever the
remainder is at the bottom,
(where the 0 is).

First we started with 0 and added 1 group of 5.Then we added 6 groups of 5 until we got to 30.We

Division facts
• If you are not comfortable with your times tables you need to
go to the times tables slide because all of these division
methods need you to have some understanding of your times
tables.
• If you don’t want remainders or decimals here are some rules
you can follow:
•
•
•
•
•
You can only divide numbers by 3 that are in the 3 times table.
You can only divide numbers by 4 that are in the 4 times table.
You can only divide numbers by 5 that are in the 5 times table.
You can only divide numbers by 6 that are in the 6 times table.
The same rule applies for all numbers.
