The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.           
Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz). 
When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024. 
e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available.

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.
