About this resource

Year 6: Four Operations: Lesson 5 – Division Using Factors Support your Year 6 pupils in mastering division strategies with this curriculum-aligned lesson focused on division using factors —an efficient alternative to long division. This resource helps learners break down division into manageable steps by applying known factor pairs to simplify and solve division problems. It reinforces number sense, procedural fluency, and mathematical reasoning. Learners will: Identify appropriate factor pairs to use instead of dividing directly by large divisors. Use their multiplication knowledge (2s, 5s, 10s, etc.) to simplify division and reduce cognitive load. Develop a strategic, number-wise approach—ideal for mental or efficient written computation. Apply this method in a variety of contexts to build flexibility and confidence. Ideal for starter activities, independent practice, guided lessons, or consolidation, this lesson nurtures efficient calculation strategies and deepens understanding of division as an inverse of multiplication.Read more

“Printed it at eight on a Sunday and taught it on the Monday.”

No editing, no reformatting, no hunting for the answers. The three levels are on separate pages, which sounds obvious until you have used the sites where they are not.

“Matches our White Rose planning almost week for week.”

I stopped adapting things from three different sites and now start here. The odd week does not line up exactly, but the small step it covers is always somewhere in the same block.

“The editable file is why we renewed.”

Being able to change two questions for the child who joined us in January, without rebuilding the whole sheet, is worth the subscription on its own.
