Three levels

One skill, rising difficulty

Each sheet carries one level. The three are the same skill at rising difficulty, each named for what it practises.

Level 1: 2 digits, each digit divides evenly

Level 2: 2 digits

Level 3: 3 digits

Worked example

How the sheet explains it

The helper printed at the top of each sheet: one solved example and the steps a student follows, before the first question. Every number sentence in it is proven by the same checker as the answer key.

Level 1: 2 digits, each digit divides evenly

  1. Divide the tens: 8 ÷ 4 = 2. Write 2 above the 8.
  2. Divide the ones: 4 ÷ 4 = 1. Write 1 above the 4.
  3. So 84 ÷ 4 = 21.

Level 2: 2 digits

  1. How many 3s fit in 7? 2 × 3 = 6. Write 2 above the 7. 7 − 6 = 1 ten left.
  2. Bring down the 2: 1 ten and 2 ones make 12 ones.
  3. 12 ÷ 3 = 4. Write 4 above the 2. So 72 ÷ 3 = 24.

Level 3: 3 digits

  1. 1 hundred cannot give each of 6 groups a hundred, so write nothing above the 1. Use 15 tens.
  2. How many 6s fit in 15? 2 × 6 = 12. Write 2 above the 5. 15 − 12 = 3 tens left.
  3. Bring down the 6: 3 tens and 6 ones make 36 ones.
  4. 36 ÷ 6 = 6. Write 6 above the 6. So 156 ÷ 6 = 26.
