Understanding Division:
- Division is the process of splitting a number into equal groups.
- It helps to find how many groups can be made or how many items will be in each group.
Parts of a Division Sentence:
- Dividend: The total number being divided.
- Divisor: The number of groups or the size of each group.
- Quotient: The result of the division.
Example: 12 ÷ 3 = 4
- 12: Dividend
- 3: Divisor
- 4: Quotient
Using Groups to Represent Division:
- Draw objects or use counters to create groups.
- Ensure all groups are of equal size.
- Count how many groups are formed (or the size of each group).
Writing Division Sentences:
- Identify the total number of items (dividend).
- Determine the number of groups (divisor).

- Example: “16 apples are divided into 4 baskets. How many apples are in each basket?”
Division sentence: 16 ÷ 4 = 4
