Stimulus
One of your best friends, Silvana, asks you to help her with division. She shows you some division questions which she has done. They look like this:
628 ÷ 4 = 157
7235 ÷ 5 = 1447
1248 ÷ 6 = 28
4815 ÷ 3 = 165
- First, check Silvana’s answers. If answer is correct, tick it. If not, write the correct answer underneath.
- Create a very hard question which you think Silvana might be able to answer correctly. Show how she might work out the answer.
- Write down two questions which you think Silvana might get wrong. Give the answers Silvana might give to the questions, and then show the correct answers.
- What would you show or tell Silvana to help her when she is doing division questions?
- Some of Silvana’s answers to the problems at the top of the page are far too small. Use one of her answers to explain this to her.
