Long Division Primes Squares and Cubes
A prime number has only 1 and itself Square numbers result from a number
as factors: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, being multiplied by itself (e.g. 5 × 5 = 25):
1 2 0 r 3 23, 29, 31, 33, 37, 41, 43
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100

multiplied by itself twice (2 × 2 × 2 = 8):

2 8 3 Mental Calculations and Reason from Known Facts
2 8 0 Estimation 90 ÷ 10 = 9 so 90 ÷ 20 = 4.5 and 90 ÷ 5 = 18
Order of calculations:
3 50 × 34 × 2 = 50 × 2 × 34 = 100 × 34 = 3400
16 × 9 = 144 so 1.6 × 9 = 14.4

Money: £8.99 + £3.49 = £12.48 4352 ÷ 17 = 256


Use £9 + £3.50 = £12.50 and subtract 2p so 256 × 18 = 4352 + 256 = 4608
Estimate on a number line
3786 + 2850 = 6636
-8 0 8 16 20 24 so 4786 + 2850 = 7636
and 2786 + 3850 = 6636

Subdivide line to estimate: 17 and 8636 – 3786 = 4850
