Division
This week we are going to divide numbers by sharing objects to work out the answer.
EG:
Think about:
How many do you have to begin with? 12 cubes How many equal groups are you sharing between? We are sharing between 2.
Share the objects between 2 boxes by putting 1 in the first box then 1 in the other box until all the objects have been shared equally.
How many are in each group? 6 How do you know that you have shared the objects equally? There are 6 in each box.
Now try these using objects and boxes or instead of boxes any containers or you can draw big circles to share the objects between.
1. Share 12 cubes/objects between 3 boxes.How many are in each box?
2. 24 children are put into 4 teams. Using the method shown work out how many children will be in each team.
3. There are 16 biscuits in a packet. 4 children share them. How many biscuits will each child have?
4. You have 18 sweets and share them between you and 2 of your friends. How many sweets will each of you have?

Division
The symbol for divide looks like this ÷
Tom draws a bar model to divide 20 into 4 equal groups. This is what it looks like:
He writes 20 ÷ 4 = 5.
Using the bar model like Tom work out the answers:
EG.
15 ÷ 3 = 5
15
20 ÷ 4 =
16 ÷ 2 =
18 ÷ 3 =
25 ÷ 5 =
14 ÷ 2 =
21 ÷ 3 =
