Understanding Division
Division is all about sharing equally!
When we divide, we're splitting a number into equal parts or groups. For example, if you have 12 cookies
and want to share them equally with 3 friends, you'd divide 12 by 3 to find that each person gets 4
cookies.
How Division Works
1️⃣ Identify the total amount (dividend)
2️⃣ Decide how many groups you're dividing into (divisor)
3️⃣ Calculate how much goes in each group (quotient)

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it real: Use everyday situations like sharing snacks or dividing up chores to practice division facts naturally.
