Division is about splitting a number into equal parts.
It involves two main methods:
Sharing involves distributing objects equally among a specified number.
For example:
Given 15 counters, distributing them equally onto 3 plates.
How many counters are there on each plate?
Each plate will have 5 counters.
Mathematically, this is represented as 15 ÷ 3 = 5.
Grouping is about finding how many groups of a certain size can be made from a given number.
For instance:
Considering 15 counters, determining how many groups of 3 can be formed.
There are 5 groups of 3 counters each.
This is expressed as 15 ÷ 3 = 5.
Example: Let’s look at dividing by 5 by grouping.
What is 30 ÷ 5?
I need 30 objects and I need to put them into groups of 5.
The answer is the number of equal groups you have after grouping all your objects.
Here are 30 cubes.
How many groups of 5 are there?
There are 6 equal groups of 5. So:
30 ÷ 5 = 6
