Chunking Success!
• Work out multiples of the
number you are dividing by
• e.g. 10x, 5x, 20x, 30x,
• Subtract the largest multiple
possible
• Record in brackets which
multiple you are subtracting
• Continue until the remainder
is smaller than the number
you are dividing by
• Add up how many multiples
you have subtracted
• Record your answer e.g. 78
r9
