Math is fun

Today we are going to study a very interesting

concept

Separate four coins and place them as a group on the table. Repeat this until all the coins

are in separate groups.

This is division

Division • Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.

• We use the symbol, or sometimes the symbol to divide.

Example: 4 2 or 4 / 2 or 4 2

Symbols

Terminologies

Dividend:The amount that you want to divide is called “ dividend”. Divisor:The “divisor” is the number that the dividend will be divided by.Example:

10 5

The left over is called Remainder.

sometimes we cannot divide things up evenly ... there may be something left over.

Example: There are 7 bones to share with 2 pups.But 7 cannot be divided exactly into 2 groups,

so each pup gets 3 bones, but there will be 1 left over:

Remainder

Quotient

The answer after you divide one number by another

i-e dividend ÷ divisor = quotient

Example: in 12 ÷ 4 = 3 3 is the quotient

example

quotient 5

divisor 3 16 dividend 15 1 remainder

How to identify division word problem

• Divide evenly• Cut• Split• Share• Each• Every • Average • Equal pieces• Out of• Ratio• Quotient

Mandy has 36 cookies and she wants to share them with her

friends 6 friends. How many cookies will each friend receive.

The key words here are share and each because they both refer to

division.

Strategies

•Addition•Subtraction•Simple division method•Symbols or drawings

Strategy no. 1

• Add the divisor until you get the dividend digit• Example• 24 3 • 3 3+3 = 6 6+3 = 9 9+3 = 12 12+3 = 15 15+3 = 18 18+3 = 21 21+3

= 24• So 8 is the answer.

Strategy no. 2

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend unless you get zero. The number of times you have subtracted is the answer to your question• Example 16 2• 16-2 = 14 14-2 = 12 12-2= 10 10-2 = 8 8-2 = 6 6-2 = 4 4-2 = 2 2-2

= 0• 8 is the answer. 8 2 16 16 x

Strategy no. 3

• 124 2

62 2 124 12 x 4 4 x

Strategy no. 4

Ali has 6 pieces of pizza. He wants to share it with Aliya. How many pieces of each of them will get?Total pieces = 6We will share one by one such as

So each of them gets 3 pieces of pizza.
