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 #H2S
