What Are Divisors and Quotients?
Division is like sharing treats with friends!
When we divide, we split a number into equal parts. The divisor tells us how many groups to make,
and the quotient tells us how many are in each group. Let's learn with numbers up to 10!
How Division Works
1️⃣ Start with a total number (like 8 apples)
2️⃣ Decide how many groups to make (divisor, like 2 friends)
3️⃣ Share equally to find how many in each group (quotient, 4 apples each)
Let's Practice Together!
Example 1: Sharing Cookies
You have 6 cookies to share with 3 friends. How many cookies does each friend get?

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use real objects: Practice with small toys, candies, or buttons to make division hands-on and fun.
- Relate to multiplication: Show how division is the opposite of multiplication (if 3 × 2 = 6, then 6 ÷ 2 = 3).
- Make it a game: Create division challenges with everyday items like setting the table or sharing snacks.
