Year 4 Maths Chunking Division The chunking method is a way of working out longer division sums where the bus stop method won t help us. It can take a little while to get the hang of, but just follow the example below and we re sure you ll be cracking complicated division questions with ease in no time at all! Example 386 12 Remember that the above is really asking us, how many 12s are there in 386?. That s a little too much to take in all in one go, so we need to break up our sum into chunks. We do this by repeating multiplication sums that take us closer and closer to our answer. Start by using numbers that are easy to multiply, like 5, 10 and 20. 12 x 20 = 240 We can work out quite easily that 20 x 12 = 240 (because we know that 12 x 2 = 24). Now, subtract 240 from 386. We can now see that we have 146 left over. This means that we can t take away another chunk of 20 x 12, as 240 is bigger than 146. However, 10 x 12 = 120, so we can take this away instead. Now we only have 26 left! The closest we can get to 26 is 2 x 12 = 24, so we take that away too. 2 x 12 = 24 26-24 = 2 We ve now got as close to zero as we can go. Turn to the next page to reveal the final step!
Year 4 Maths Chunking Division (Continued) To find our answer, we now need to add up all of the numbers on the left hand side of our working out (these are all of the numbers we multiplied by 12). + 2 x 12 = 24 26-24 = 2 32 So, the answer to 386 12 is 32 remainder 2 (because we had 2 left over at the end of our chunking). That s it! we know that it s quite a lot to take in at first, but once you get the hang of it you should find that it s a really useful tool for solving long division sums. Activity Now have a go at the chunking division questions below. Feel free to refer back to the example as many times as you need to, and don t worry if it takes a little while to get right! You can show your workings out on a separate piece of paper if you don t have enough room. 1. 348 15 = 2. 504 12 = 3. 196 13 = 4. 418 11 =
