Division practice
Division is the times tables backwards. Noggli starts with division facts from the 2, 5 and 10 times tables and works up to dividing by two-digit numbers.
What your child practises
- Year 3divide using the 2, 5 and 10 times tables
- Year 3divide using the 3, 4 and 8 times tables
- Year 4divide using tables up to 12
- Year 5divide a two-digit number by a one-digit number
- Year 6divide by a two-digit number
From tables to short division
If 6 × 3 = 18, then 18 ÷ 3 = 6. Children use table facts to divide in Years 3 and 4, then use short division (the bus stop method) for a two-digit or bigger number divided by one digit in Year 5.
Dividing by two-digit numbers
Year 6 children divide by numbers like 24 or 15, using long or short division. 720 ÷ 24 = 30, because 24 × 3 = 72. Knowing the tables well makes every step quicker.
Helping at home
- Practise each times table as division facts too: 56 ÷ 8, 56 ÷ 7.
- Check by multiplying back: if 720 ÷ 24 = 30, then 30 × 24 should be 720.
- Use sharing with real objects for the early facts.

Questions parents ask
What is short division?
Short division, often called the bus stop method, divides a number by a single digit one place value column at a time, carrying any remainder into the next column.
When do children learn division?
Sharing and grouping start in Year 2. Division facts from the tables are Years 3 and 4, short division is Year 5, and dividing by two-digit numbers is Year 6.
How can I help my child with division?
Times tables are the biggest help. Noggli practises tables and division together, and gives a clue that links back to the table fact when your child is stuck.
