They've been using base 10 to help understand concepts like exchanging 10s for ones to simplify the division process. This approach allows them to break down numbers more easily and gain a deeper understanding of the division process. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-BA3E2E10-BF96-4751-A609-E1D217AFC14A.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Maths](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/maths) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/3B8F39C2-B0F7-467D-91DE-7FE709350A76.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-31-friday-celebration-worship) Previous ### [Friday Celebration Worship ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-31-friday-celebration-worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/2729762D-7849-4F13-9024-4FEC984201F2.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-03-year-5-p-e-hockey) Next ### [Year 5 P.E - Hockey](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-03-year-5-p-e-hockey) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
