We used concrete materials to work on division. We started off dividing by 2 as we all know that table. Once we worked one out we wrote the sum on our table. We worked out lots of different sums. Then we moved on to dividing by 3 and some of us even tried dividing by 4.
When we work in pairs we have started using numbered cards to find out who we are working with. This makes it totally random so even the teacher doesn’t know who we will end up with. It also keeps our brains working as we are not able to rely on the same person each time.
