into smaller equal groups.
DIVISION

2. Let’s try some calculations.
DIVISION
Share ten bananas equally
between two monkeys.
10 ÷ 2 = 5
Ten divided by two equals five.
Each monkey gets five bananas.
Share sixteen basketballs
between four children.
16 ÷ 4 = 4
Sixteen divided by four equals four.
Each child gets four balls.
3. Sometimes an
amount won’t
divide exactly
and there may
be some left
over. This is
called the
remainder.
REMAINDERSShare nineteen bones between four dogs.
19 ÷ 4 = 4 remainder 3
Each dog gets four bones and there are three left over.
The remainder is three.
We can also write the answer as 4 r3.
4. Let’s try another example...
