Display €15.75 as pupils settle. Take three hands-up answers, not open call-outs. Do not confirm anything yet — the wonder is whether it will divide evenly, and that is what the lesson proves.

One example at a time; between each, one quick question, hands up, take two.

€15.75 ÷ 5 = €3.15: labour point-above-point; ask why the point sits there, each digit stays in its place-value column.

€9.60 ÷ 8 = €1.20: ask why not €1.2, the trailing zero holds the cent place.

4.5 m ÷ 6 = 0.75 m: length, not money, so the rule isn't just a money trick.

€10.00 ÷ 3: pause. Each gets €3.33; show €3.33 × 3 = €9.99 so they see the leftover 1 cent, which can't split three ways; the situation decides.

Rounding: €1.875 has a third place but money stops at cents, so €1.875 rounds to €1.88 (third digit 5, round up). Do it as a board line. Flag €7.50 ÷ 4 coming in Try It Together.

Take a hands-up prediction for each share before the reveal, then the class agrees or corrects aloud.

€18.60 among 6: comes out clean at €3.10 — get them spotting point above point.

€7.50 among 4: this is the pause. Gives €1.875, a third decimal place. Ask what €1.875 means for money, which only goes to two places, and lead them to round to €1.88, as in Watch and Notice. Then check: €1.88 × 4 = €7.52, two cents over, so two friends pay €1.88 and two pay €1.87 to total €7.50 exactly.

3.6 m ribbon into 8: back to a clean length, 0.45 m — leave them confident.

These are the practice questions — pupils take turns at the board, check each answer, and the class confirms before moving on. Keep the board work brisk rather than over-explaining.

€23.40 ÷ 4 = €5.85 (clean). €14.55 ÷ 5 = €2.91 (clean, but watch the point). 2.5 l ÷ 4 = 0.625 l (the units pause — capacity, three places, which is fine here because litres can carry on past two places). The €50 problem is a different kind of thinking and is now built on screen: it is not an equal share but 'how many fit, then what is left'. Show 6 × €7.25 = €43.50 and €50 − €43.50 = €6.50 on the board so every pupil sees the reasoning, not only the strongest. If time runs short, the €50 change problem can be finished at the start of the next lesson — it is the newest idea and deserves proper build time.
