Division facts come first: the times tables worksheets include division facts. For multiplying big numbers, see long multiplication.In the MATATAG curriculum
- Grade 2Division as equal sharing, equal grouping and repeated subtraction, with the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 tables.
- Grade 3Dividing 2- to 3-digit numbers by 1 digit without a remainder, and 2-digit numbers by 1 digit with a remainder.
- Grade 4Dividing 3- to 4-digit numbers by 1 digit, and 2- to 3-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers.
In MATATAG terms, the 2- and 3-digit sheets without remainders are Grade 3 work, 2-digit with remainders also belongs in Grade 3, and the 4-digit sheets are Grade 4. Division by 2-digit numbers is also Grade 4, but this maker only divides by 2 to 9.
Both grades include division word problems with money, so a sum like ₱96 shared among 4 friends is a good bridge from the sheet to real life.
