Four Operations of Whole Numbers
Multiply and divide larger whole numbers, interpret remainders and connect calculations in word problems.
Your child multiplies numbers up to four digits in columns, starting with the ones and renaming as they go, and divides by a 1-digit number. Then the chapter turns to word problems: deciding what a remainder means, drawing amounts as equal units, spotting what stays the same before and after a change, and supposing every item is one kind.

About this chapter
These Primary 4 four operations of whole numbers questions connect written multiplication and division with the relationships in a word problem. Your child practises interpreting remainders, comparing two or three quantities, tracking changes and reasoning about equal groups. The chapter's mixed practice asks your child to choose a method and check the result against the story.
Practise by question type: P4 multiplication, P4 division with remainders, P4 two-step word problems, P4 total and difference, P4 three-quantity problems, P4 unchanged total, P4 unchanged difference, P4 one quantity unchanged, P4 supposition, P4 grouping problems and P4 whole number word problems.
