Math Magic Time!

Steps to Solve Word Problems:

First comes reading, then comes thinking…
Follow these steps to divide like a pro:

1. Read Carefully: Read the problem twice—once for fun, once for facts!
2. Find the Numbers: Look for the big number (total) and the small number (how many groups).
3. Do the Math: Use division to share the total into equal groups.
4. Check Your Work: Multiply to see if it adds up again!

Let’s Try Together!

Problem: There are 360 candies, and they need to be shared equally among 9 kids. How many candies does each kid get?

Solution:
First, write down what we know:
Total candies = 360, Kids = 9
Now divide: 360 ÷ 9 = 40
Each kid gets 40 candies! 🍬🍬

Tips for Superhero Parents:

• Use real-life examples, like sharing toys or snacks, to explain division.
• Draw pictures or use objects (like buttons or coins) to show grouping.
• Encourage your child to talk through their steps—it helps them think clearly!
• Celebrate every little success—they’re learning something big!
