Division
Division practice in five steps, from 9 ÷ 3 to 84 ÷ 6 = 14: each starts with halving, then division facts from the times tables and round numbers.
- Division to 10Division to 10 practice, from 2 ÷ 2 to 40 ÷ 2 = 20: halving first, then sharing out by other numbers, then tens, and forming a division of their own.
- Division to 20Division to 20 practice, from 20 ÷ 2 to 18 ÷ 6 = 3 and 200 ÷ 5 = 40: halving 12 to 20 first, then division facts that lean on the times tables up to 20.
- Division to 30Division to 30 practice, from 25 ÷ 5 to 28 ÷ 4 = 7 and 270 ÷ 9 = 30: halving 22 to 30 in two steps, then division facts from many tables, up to hundreds.
- Division to 50Division to 50 practice, from 36 ÷ 4 to 48 ÷ 2 = 24 and 4200 ÷ 600 = 7: halving up to 50, the bigger division facts, and a round mixing times and divide.
- Division to 100Division to 100 practice, from 60 ÷ 6 to 84 ÷ 6 = 14 and 7500 ÷ 5: halving 52 to 100, dividing by partitioning, and a round with all four operations.
- Times tablesTimes tables practice from 1 to 20, from 8 × 1 to 9 × 18 = 162: a page per table, division facts for 1 to 10, in groups that end in a mixed round.

Why it matters
Dividing is sharing out fairly: twelve sweets between three children. In maths it is mainly the reverse question of multiplication. A child who knows that 4 × 3 = 12 also knows that 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
That is why division in Maqqii grows alongside multiplication, step by step up to 100. Your child needs it for fractions, for averages and for every question that starts with 'how much each'.
How to approach it
Each step opens with halving, because dividing by 2 is the easiest to understand: cutting something in two. Then come division facts from the times tables, sums with round tens and hundreds, and sums where your child chooses the number and what to divide it by.
With division, always ask the multiplication question. 35 ÷ 5 becomes: what number times 5 makes 35? That way there is nothing new to learn by heart; your child uses the times tables they already know.
