TOPIC : DIVISION
Outcomes: At the end of the lessons the learners should be able to:
(i) use the concepts of multiples, doubling and halving
(ii) use the divisibility rules with division
(iii) use the clue board with long division
(iv) use multiplication to divide

DAY 1
CLASSWORK
ACTIVITY: When doing division, there are certain Maths concepts that you must
know very well.

1. Multiples: When I divide by, for example 3 829 ÷ 64, I need to know how to form
the multiples of 64.
To form a multiple of a number, you multiply the number by another number.
For example:
10 × 64 is 640, so 640 is a multiple of 64.
100 × 64 is 6 400, so 6 400 is a multiple of 64.

2. Doubling:
Doubling may be used in some cases to find multiples.
For example, if you know that 40 × 53 = 2 120,
you can double 2 120 to find 80 × 53.

3. Halving:
Halving may also be useful to find multiples.
For example, if you know that 100 × 68 = 6 800,
you can halve 6 800 to find 50 × 68.

Class activity: Do the following in your Maths workbook. Use the memorandum
to check your answers.

1. If 73 x 100 = 7 300, then 100 x 73 = 7 300.

If 7 300 ÷ 73 = 1 00, 7 300 ÷ 1 00 = 73.
Use these facts to write down the answers of the following. You should be able to do
these calculations mentally.

(a) 37 (b) 43 (c) 98 (d) 76

HOMEWORK: Do the following in your Maths workbook. Use the memorandum to

check your answers.

1. Use the facts below to write down the answers of the following. You should be able to do these
calculations mentally.

If 58 x 100 = 5 800, then 100 x 58 = 5 800.

If 5 800 ÷ 58 = 100, then 5 800 ÷ 100 = 58.

Day 3

CLASSWORK
ACTIVITY: Today you will learn how to record your work when doing division.

Example 1: How many pieces of 34 cm each can you cut from 7 888 cm of rope
on a roll?

First estimate your answer. Ask yourself the following questions

Can I cut 1 000 pieces of 34 cm each? No, 34 x 1 000 = 34 000 Too many!
Can I cut 500 pieces of 34 cm each? No, 34 x 500 = 17 000 Too many! (500 is half of 1 000)
Can I cut 250 pieces of 34 cm each? No, 34 x 250 = 8 500 Too many! (250 is half of 500)
Can I cut 200 pieces of 34 cm each? Yes, 34 x 200 = 6 800
Now you know that the answer must be between 200 and 250.

How many pieces?

- 1020 (30 x 34 = 1 020) 30 x 34 = 1 020
68 2 x 34 = 68
- 68 (2 x 34 = 68)

Answer: 200 + 30 + 2 = 232

This is an example of grouping. The number of parts is unknown.

Example 2:
How much will each person get if R9 702 is shared equally between 42 people?

First estimate your answer. Ask yourself the following questions

Can each person get R100? No, because 42 x 100 = R4 200 Too little!
Can each person get R200? No, because 42 x 200 = R8 400 Too little! (200 is double 100)
Can each person get R300? No, because 42 x 300 = R12 600 Too much! (100 + 200)

Now you know that the answer must be between 200 and 300.

- 42 (1 x 42 = 42)

Answer: 200 + 30 + 1 = R 231

This is an example of sharing. The size of each part is unknown.

Example 3:
Mr Nkosi can transport 26 bundles of wood per load with his bakkie. How many loads will he
need to transport 3 300 bundles of wood?
First estimate your answer. Ask yourself the following questions.
Will Mr Nkosi need 100 loads? 100 x 26 = 2 600. Not enough loads
Will Mr Nkosi need 200 loads? 200 x 26 = 5 200. Too many loads (double answer of 100)
Will Mr Nkosi need 150 loads? 100 x 26 = 3 900. Too many loads (100 plus half of 100)
Mr Nkosi will need between 100 and 150 loads to transport 3 300 bundles.

If Mr Nkosi transport 126 loads, there will remain 24 bundles of wood. Therefore, Mr Nkosi will have
to transport 127 loads.
This is an example of grouping. The number of parts is unknown.

Classwork: Do the following exercises in your Maths workbook. Use the method
of recording as shown in the examples. Use the memorandum to check your work.

bundles of 36 books will there be?
2. A school has R9 152 available to buy books at R88 each. How many books can
the school buy?
3. A special box of sweets has 1 080 sweets! The sweets are packed in neat rows and in more
than one layer.
(a) In each layer, there are 18 sweets in a row. If there are 216 sweets in one layer, how many
rows are there in one layer?
(b) How many layers of sweets are there in the box?

Homework: Do the following exercises in your Maths workbook. Use the method
of recording as shown in examples. Use the memorandum to check your work.

1. A supermarket donates 4 698 boxes of wax crayons to nursery schools. The boxes of wax
crayons are divided equally between 27 nursery schools. How many boxes of wax crayons
does each nursery school get?

DAY 4

CLASS ACTIVITY: Today you will learn how to use multiply to

divide.

Can you still remember your multiplication facts?

If 12 x 13 = 156, then 13 x 12 = 156.
Also 156 ÷12 = 13 and 156 ÷ 13 = 12

Example: 3 447 ÷17

We can also write 3 447 ÷ 17 as 17 x = 3 447

Write a clue board of what you know about multiplying by 17.

CLUE BOARD Reasoning

10 x 17 = 170
20 X 17 = 340 double 10 x 17
100 x 17 = 1 700 Ten times bigger than 10 x
17
200 x 17 = 3 400 Double 100 x 17
50 x 17 = 850 Halve 100 x 17
5 x 17 = 85 Halve 10 x 17
2 x 17 = 34 Double 1 x 17
4 x 17 = 68 Double 2 x 17
8 x 17 =136 Double 4 x 17

Multiply Subtract
200 x 17 = 3 400 3 447 – 3 400 = 47
2 x 17 = 34 47 – 34 = 13
3 447 ÷ 17 = 200 + 2 + remainder 13 = 202 remainder 13

To check your answer: (202 x 17) + 12 = 3 447

20 x 23 = 460 689 – 460 = 229

6 439 ÷ 23 = 200 + 50 +20 + 9 + remainder 22 =279 remainder 22

To check your answer: (279 x 23) + 22 = 6 439
