Dear parents and Year 4,

Multiplication and division are key skills in Year 4 Mathematics as they both feed into each other.

It is a really good idea to keep practicing division alongside multiplication as it will help you to become more fluent and quicker in your times tables.

I have attached a PowerPoint for you to watch that explains the bus stop method of division.

Confidence with the bus stop method is essential before we move onto other methods of division and multiplication that are much trickier!

I have also attached some questions for you to practice dividing using the bus stop method.

I hope you find this helpful and continue to practice at home often.

Mr. Kersys.

(Parents please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like any more home learning resources, I am working on some documents for English and other areas as we discussed. Thank you for your continued patience and support at this busy time of year. You can also find a multitude of resources online if you search for the topic, e.g. ‘Bus stop method KS2’).
