Division When we divide we share equally That

Division When we divide we share equally. That means there is the same number in each group. If you had sweets and shared them equally between you and a friend, it would only be fair if you both had exactly the same amount.

Division - sharing • First we are going to look at Division through sharing. • Watch these next examples and then it will be your turn to have a go. • Look how the objects are shared equally, one at a time. You will need to do the same.

10 2 = 5

6 3=2

12 3 = 4

Now it’s your turn to do some sharing! • Use cubes, counters or any objects you have at home to have a go at practically sharing the activities on the next few pages. • After you have shared the objects you can record the sums in your exercise book or on paper if you want to.

Division - Grouping To help us solve division mentally we can use grouping. Get 12 cubes and put them into groups of 2. 12 ÷ 2 = 6

Now try with 20 counters – can you put them in equal groups of 5? Get 10 counters – can you put them in equal groups of 2?

Solving division mentally • We can use ‘grouping’ to solve division quickly by counting in groups of 2, 5, 10 on our fingers.

Have a go at these using your fingers to count in groups. . • Record your answers in your exercise book or on paper and send us a photo of them #H 2 S

WELL DONE!!! • • We are so proud of you! You have worked very hard and now understand how to solve division calculations. If you need any more activities look on weekly sheet for links to the Twinkl website. Please send us photos of any of your maths activities. We can’t wait to see you solving division practically and in your written work. #H 2 S If you need any more support please message us directly and we will be happy to offer more suggestions and ideas.
