What you'll learn

1. 1

   Dividing means sharing into equal groups, or finding how many groups fit.

2. 2

   12 biscuits shared between 3 plates. Put one on each plate, then go round again, until they are gone. Each plate has 4.

3. 3

   15 sweets shared between 5 children. How many each?

4. 4

   Division and multiplication undo each other. If 3 × 4 = 12, then 12 ÷ 3 = 4.

5. 5

   20 children, 5 in each minibus. How many minibuses? Count in 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20 — that is 4 jumps. So 4 minibuses.

6. 6

   What is 18 ÷ 2?

7. 7

   Why must the groups be equal when dividing?
