What is Division?
Division is all about sharing things equally!
When we divide, we're splitting a larger number into equal smaller groups. It's like sharing cookies with friends or organizing your toys into boxes. Division helps us solve problems where we need to distribute things fairly.
How Division Works
1️⃣ Identify the total amount (dividend)
2️⃣ Decide how many groups (divisor)
3️⃣ Find out how much is in each group (quotient)
Let's Practice Division!

Parent Tips 🌟

- Play division games like "How many in each group?" with household items to make practice fun.
