Division on a number line

Grade 4 Term 4: Maths: Numbers, Operations and Relationships: Division on a number line
Name:

Look at this example of division on a number line:

11 ÷ 3 = rem

0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Begin at 11. Hop back in 3s. Count the hops. You get to 2 and there are only 2 left over.
This is the remainder (remainder 2). The answer will be 11 ÷ 3 = 3 rem 2
1. Use this number line to work out the following:
11 + 2 = rem

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

2. Use this numberline to work out the following:

12 + 5 = rem

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

3. Draw number lines up to twenty in your class workbook. Use hops like the
example above to find the answers to these division sums:
a) 18 ÷ 4 = rem
b) 17 ÷ 5 = rem
c) 20 ÷ 4 = rem
d) 16 ÷ 6 = rem
e) 19 ÷ 3 = rem
f ) 15 ÷ 2 = rem
g) 14 ÷ 7 = rem
h) 13 ÷ 3 = rem
