Check understanding
- Compute 14.76 ÷ 4 using a written method to get 3.69
- Explain how to continue long division past the decimal point to obtain a decimal quotient
- Solve a context problem that requires dividing a decimal amount equally (e.g. sharing £18.60 among 5 people)
“Can your child use a written method to calculate something like '17 ÷ 4 = 4.25' — carrying the division past the decimal point to get a decimal answer rather than a remainder?”
