Size of Equal Groups How can you model a division problem to find how many in each group?
When you divide… • You separate things (people, cookies, toys, etc. ) into EQUAL GROUPS • Each group has to have the SAME amount of things as all the other groups
Let’s Divide! Ms. Percy has 12 pencils. She wants to give 3 students an equal number of pencils. How many pencils will each student get?
Let’s Divide! Ms. Percy has 12 pencils. She wants to give 3 students an equal number of pencils. How many pencils will each student get? This problem can be solved with DIVISION because we are going to separate the 12 pencils into 3 equal groups.

Let’s Divide! Ms. Percy has 12 pencils. She wants to give 3 students an equal number of pencils. How many pencils will each student get? Each student will get 4 pencils.
Let’s Divide! Ms. Percy has 12 pencils. She wants to give 3 students an equal number of pencils. How (pencils)will ÷ 3 (students) = 4 (pencils many 12 pencils each student get? each student gets) Each student will get 4 pencils. When it asks, how many will EACH get, it is the same as asking how many will ONE GROUP get!
Vocabulary 12 (pencils) ÷ 3 (students) = 4 (pencils each student gets) ÷divisor = quotient dividend
Let’s try another one. Silas has 8 baseball cards that he wants to organize. He puts the baseball cards equally into 4 different bins. How many baseball cards does he put in each bin? This problem can be solved with DIVISION because we are going to separate the 8 baseball cards into 4 equal groups. (Each

Let’s try another one. Silas has 8 baseball cards that he wants to organize. He puts the baseball cards equally into 4 different bins. How many baseball cards does he put in each bin? 8 (cards) ÷ 4 (bins) = 2 (cards in each bin)
Vocabulary 8 (cards) ÷ 4 (bins) = 2 (cards in each bin) ÷divisor = quotient dividend
Your Turn Total Counters Number of Groups 10 12 12 8 9 11 10 5 6 4 2 3 1 2 Number IN each group Division Equation 10÷ 5=2 12÷ 6=2 12÷ 4=3 8÷ 4=2 9÷ 3=3 11÷ 1=11 10÷ 2=5
Your Turn Model each problem. Then, write an equation under each problem. 1. There are 14 marbles being shared equally among 2 friends. How many marbles does each friend get? 2. There are 10 marbles. I want them into 5 bags. How many marbles are in each bag? 3. There are 8 apples in each basket. There are 2 baskets. How many apples are there? 14÷ 2=7 10÷ 5=2 2× 8=16 15÷ 3=5 3+4=7
How can you model a division problem to find how many in each group?
Bonus Question Write an equation that could represent this model below. Then write a different equation that represents the model. Then write another different equation that represents the model. 3+3=6 2× 3=6 6÷ 2=3
Bonus Question Using the model to help you, what does the 3 represent in the equation? 6÷ 2=3 e number of apples in each (or 1) bask
Exit Ticket Match the problem to the equation that can be used to solve it. Tomas has 6 muffins and 2 plates. He wants to put the same number of muffins on each plate. How many muffins will be on each plate? Yesterday, Mickey ate 6 cookies at lunch time and 2 cookies after dinner. How many cookies did he eat yesterday? Yasmin has 6 stickers on each 6+2=8 6÷ 2=3
