It can also introduce children to how remainders are recorded in the answer.įor more multiplication and division resources click here. The ITP can be used to model division as grouping and to link this process to jumps on a number line. The answer to the division calculation is shown at the bottom of the screen.

Four more counters have been dragged together and the fifth is about to be selected. In the example shown below, 3 sets of 5 shapes have been selected and moved to the number line, which shows each group as a jump. In this example 22 counters were chosen and the divisor set to 5. Once a group equal to the divisor is selected, it ‘jumps’ to the number line. As individual counters or shapes are clicked and dragged to form a group the size of the divisor, they change colour. A number line displays the number to be divided.

You then select a number to be the divisor in a division calculation. This ITP allows you to display up to 30 counters or shapes on the screen. This ITP has been remade so that it will work in modern browsers. The Calculations app is available on Google Play and the App Store.
