🍎 Let’s Divide by 9! 🍎

Dividing by 9 means splitting things into 9 equal parts. It’s like sharing 9 cookies with your friends—one for you, one for them, and so on until everyone gets their share!

How Do We Divide by 9?

First comes the number, then comes divide,
Split it in 9, let’s all take a ride!
Here’s how we do it step-by-step:

1. Start with the big number (that’s what we call the dividend).
2. Think about how many groups of 9 fit inside that number.
   "How many times can 9 go?" That’s our little clue!
3. Write down the answer—that’s the quotient.
   If there’s any leftover, that’s called the remainder (don’t worry, it happens sometimes).

Let’s Try an Example Together!

Say we want to divide 18 ÷ 9:

• We ask ourselves, “How many groups of 9 are in 18?”
• Count them out: 9 + 9 = 18. That’s 2 groups!
• So, 18 ÷ 9 = 2. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Tips for Superhero Parents 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

1. Use real-life objects like candies or toys to show division.
2. Sing songs or make up rhymes together to remember steps.
3. Celebrate small wins—every correct answer is a BIG deal!
4. Practice daily but keep it short and fun (5–10 minutes is perfect).
