Description

Dividing by 10 and 100 KS2 – Place Value PowerPoint

This engaging Dividing by 10 and 100 KS2 lesson (17 slides) uses strong place value understanding to teach pupils how to divide whole numbers and decimals by 10 and 100.

The lesson reinforces the importance of place value columns, introducing tenths and hundredths clearly and showing how digits move when dividing. Pupils learn that the decimal point does not move — the digits move to the right, making the number smaller.

Designed for KS2 maths lessons, this resource builds conceptual understanding before moving into guided and independent practice.
