When “chunking” I think of the question as referring to a certain number of sweets (in this case 882) that needs to be shared between a certain number of children (in this case 6). I then ask myself, how many sweets can I give to each child?
8 8 26
In this example, I’ll start by imagining that I’m giving each child 100 sweets. This is 6 x 100 = 600

In this example, I’ll start by imagining that I’m giving each child 100 sweets. This is 6 x 100 = 600This amount is placed under the 882
8 8 266 0 0 6 x 100
To find the number of sweets remaining, I then subtract 600 from 882
8 8 266 0 0 6 x 100
To find the number of sweets remaining, I then subtract 600 from 882 Which is 282
8 8 266 0 0-2 8 2
6 x 100
From the remaining 282 “sweets”, I then imagine that I am giving 40 to each child.This is 6 x 40 = 240
8 8 266 0 0-2 8 2
6 x 100
From the remaining 282 “sweets”, I then imagine that I am giving 40 to each child. This is 6 x 40 = 240This amount is placed under the 282
8 8 266 0 0-2 8 22 4 0
6 x 100
6 x 40
To find the number of sweets remaining, I then subtract 240 from 282
8 8 266 0 0-2 8 22 4 0
6 x 100
6 x 40
To find the number of sweets remaining, I then subtract 240 from 282Which is 42

From the remaining 42 “sweets”, I then imagine that I am giving 7 to each child.This is 6 x 7 = 42
