We have been working with multiplication and division recently in Primary 5. The children have been encouraged to learn different strategies and use whatever works best for them! I will upload some more videos and Vittles made by pupils for everyone to see at home if they need a little reminder or want to show their families what we have been up to in maths!

Here is a good little video explaining what is actually happening when we divide a three digit number using the long division algorithm. Rather than just learning the process by heart we have used diagrams and base ten blocks to really understand how we are using place value and breaking up the number.
