Activity: Dividing by 10 and 100

Pupils use their Enrich school orienteering maps to locate specific control points. At each one, they record the numbers from the control marker to create a two or three-digit number. They divide this by either 10 or 100 and show their answer as a decimal.

Summary

Pupils use the Enrich school orienteering map to locate their starting point and specific control points.
At each control point, pupils record either the 3^rd and 4^th numbers or the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th numbers from the control marker and combine the numbers to create either a two or three-digit number.
Pupils then divide the number they have created by either 10 or 100 and record their answer as a decimal.
