How is division taught Year 4?
In Year 4, your child will use short division (the bus stop division method discussed above) to divide numbers up to four digits by two-digit numbers. The method is exactly the same as with single digits, expect the first step will always involve grouping.
How does bus stop division work?
It is named after its ‘bus stop’ appearance. The dividend (number being divided) is inside the ‘bus stop’; the divisor (what the dividend is being divided by) is outside the ‘bus stop’; and the quotient (the answer, or how many times the divisor fits into the dividend) is on top of the ‘bus stop’.
Whats the bus stop method?
Short division is also known as the bus stop method and is often used to divide large numbers. Division is sharing things out or working out how many times one number goes into another. Division is the inverse of multiplication. When doing short division, it can be useful to know your times tables.

Step 1: Take the first digit of the dividend from the left. Check if this digit is greater than or equal to the divisor. Step 2: Then divide it by the divisor and write the answer on top as the quotient. Step 3: Subtract the result from the digit and write the difference below.
How do you teach short division?
To do short division, place the divisor outside the division bar and the dividend inside the division bar. Next, divide the first number of the dividend by the divisor and write the remainder next to the first number of the dividend.
What is the bus stop method for long division?
