Year 4 Maths: Dividing an Amount of Money by an Integer

Hello Year 4! Today, we’re going to learn about dividing an amount of money by a whole number, which we call an integer. This is a really useful skill, especially when you’re sharing money or trying to work out how much each person gets.

What Does Dividing Mean?

When we divide, we are splitting something into equal parts. If we have £10 and we want to share it with 5 friends, we need to find out how much each friend gets.

Example:

Let’s say we have £10 and we want to divide it by 5 (which means we are sharing it with 5 people).

1. Divide £10 by 5: $$\text{£10} \div 5 = \text{£2}$$

So, each friend gets £2!

Key Rules for Dividing Money

1. Use the Division Sign: The division sign (÷) tells us we are sharing or dividing.
2. Equal Parts: When we divide, the amount must be shared equally.
3. Check Your Work: After you divide, you can multiply the answer by the number of people to see if you get back to the original amount.

Tips and Tricks

• Count Up: If you’re not sure how many times a number goes into another, count up in that number until you reach the total.
• Use Coins: If you have coins, you can use them to help you see how much each person gets. This makes it easier to understand!
• Practice with Real Money: If you have some coins at home, practice dividing them with friends or family.
