How can we solve short division using place value
counters?
1. We had a division question such as:
6)453.
2. We had to use our place value
counters to create the number 453.
3. We then had to see how many groups of 6 were in our
different columns?
How many groups of 6 in 400?
How many groups of 6 in 50?
How many groups of 6 were in 3?
We had to exchange our 100 counters into tens and our tens
into ones so that it could all be shared equally.
