An exit slip on dividing by 10 and 100 for Year 4 maths, printed as identical slips so the whole class can answer in the last five minutes. Pupils calculate 34 ÷ 10 and 7 ÷ 100, name the value of the 7 in their answer, explain Mia's 'just take off a zero' mistake, and circle how they feel. Assesses the England National Curriculum objective on the effect of dividing by 10 and 100.
Number - fractions (including decimals)
“Find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths”
Both the calculations and the value-of-the-7 question sit inside this objective.
Two short questions: 34 ÷ 10 and 7 ÷ 100.
Pupils name the value of the 7 in their second answer.
Pupils explain the mistake in Mia's claim that 40 ÷ 100 = 4 because you just take off a zero.
