Short Division Practice — Bus Stop Method
A tool designed to help primary school pupils master short division using the bus stop method — no login, no app download, no internet connection needed after the first load.
Pupils work through 4-digit ÷ 1-digit questions in an authentic bus stop layout, entering each quotient digit above the bracket and carrying remainders into the small boxes exactly as they would on paper. Instant colour feedback — green for correct, red to try again — means pupils know immediately whether they’re on track, without a teacher needing to mark every step.
Key features:
Three difficulty levels — Easy (÷2–4, simple carries), Medium (÷3–6, moderate carries), Hard (÷6–9, carries close to the divisor) — so the tool works for pupils just beginning the method right through to those preparing for KS2 SATs
Final remainder toggle — questions can be set to always produce a remainder, never produce one, or either — ideal for targeting specific learning objectives
Times table helper — a tap-to-reveal reference panel showing the full ×1–10 table for whichever divisor is active, supporting pupils who need scaffolding without giving the answer away
Step-by-step guide — a child-friendly how-to model with a fully labelled worked example, written accessibly enough for pupils who are brand new to the method
Session stats panel — tracks questions answered, accuracy percentage, current streak, average time per question, performance by difficulty, and a per-divisor breakdown showing which times tables need the most practice
Intelligent nudges — the tool automatically encourages pupils to move up a difficulty level after 5 consecutive clean answers, and gently suggests stepping down after 3 consecutive struggles
Celebration modal — a confetti animation and randomised praise message on every correct completion keeps motivation high, with next-question settings built directly into the pop-up so momentum is never lost
Who is it for?
Year 5 and 6 teachers looking for a ready-to-use practice tool for lessons, early morning work, or home learning. It works equally well on tablets and desktops, and the stats panel gives teachers a at-a-glance view of where individual pupils are strong and where more teaching is needed — without any data leaving the device.
