Stage 6: Long and Short Division
By the end of Year 5, most children will be confident to use short division. Children will continue to explore division as sharing and grouping, and to represent calculations on a number line as appropriate. In Year 6, the formal long division method is taught using numbers up to ThHTU ÷ TU.
Quotients should be expressed as decimals and fractions
E.g. 2364 ÷ 15
At year 6, the remainder should be expressed as a fraction or decimal.
