How Does Division Work?

Let’s break it down step by step:

1. First comes the total, the big number you start with.
2. Then comes the divider, which tells us how many groups to make.
3. Finally comes the answer, or how many are in each group.

Division means sharing equally. Sharing equally means fairness!

Example Time! 🍪

Say you have 12 cookies and want to share them with 3 friends. How many cookies does each friend get?

We write this as: 12 ÷ 3 = ?

Now let’s solve:

• Take the total (12) and divide it into 3 equal groups.
• Count how many cookies are in each group… That’s 4 cookies per friend!

So, 12 ÷ 3 = 4. Yum yum, everyone’s happy now!
