Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site and currently expect this to be in June 2024
but we are reviewing this timing due to the large volume of content to move and
improvements needed to make it easier to find different types of content on
Tāhūrangi. We will update this message again shortly.

Students use multiplicative partitioning strategies to solve division problems.

Teacher notes

  • Students use a partitioning tool to solve the problem using known multiplication facts.
  • The strategies are available through an animation that appears on the launch of the learning objects and are also available as 'hints' while students work.
  • Multiplication times tables up to 10 x 10 are provided.
  • Equations are randomly generated supporting repeated use.
  • The printouts show how the student solved each equation.
