In this activity, we will be dividing four-digit numbers by a single-digit number.

To divide by 2 we halve the number.

To divide by 4 we halve the number and then halve the answer.

To divide by 8 we halve, halve and halve again!

We need to know how to divide on paper using our bus-stop method.

3625 ÷ 5

The answer is 725

Let's have a go at some questions and see how we get on.
