Math Magic Time!

How Does It Work?

First comes the number, then comes divide. When we divide by 4, we split it evenly into 4 groups. Here’s how:

1. Take the big number you want to divide.
2. Ask yourself: "How many times does 4 fit inside?"
3. Share equally among 4 groups—no leftovers allowed (unless there’s a remainder).

Let’s Try an Example Together!

Imagine you have 12 candies. You want to share them equally with 3 friends (that makes 4 people total). How many candies does each person get?

Step 1: Start with 12 candies.
Step 2: Split them into 4 groups.
Step 3: Each group gets… 🥁 3 candies! 🎉

So, 12 ÷ 4 = 3. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Tips for Superhero Parents 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

• Use real objects like toys, snacks, or blocks to help kids visualize division.
• Repeat key phrases like “Dividing by 4 means making 4 equal groups.” Repetition helps it stick!
• Turn math into a game—ask questions like, “If we divide 8 apples by 4 baskets, how many go in each basket?”
• Celebrate every small win to keep their confidence high!
