Division facts up to 10

key notes :

Understanding Division:

• Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts or groups.
• The division symbol (÷) is used to represent division.

Division as Repeated Subtraction:

• Division can be thought of as repeated subtraction.
• Example: 10 ÷ 2 = 5 can be seen as subtracting 2 from 10, five times (10 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 = 0).

Relating Division to Multiplication:

• Division facts are the opposite of multiplication facts.
• If 2 × 3 = 6, then 6 ÷ 3 = 2.
• Using multiplication tables (1-10), students can easily derive division facts.

Division Facts up to 10:

Students should memorize the division facts for numbers 1 through 10.

Key division facts to focus on:

• 10 ÷ 1 = 10, 10 ÷ 2 = 5, 10 ÷ 5 = 2
• 9 ÷ 1 = 9, 9 ÷ 3 = 3
• 8 ÷ 1 = 8, 8 ÷ 2 = 4, 8 ÷ 4 = 2
• 7 ÷ 1 = 7
• 6 ÷ 1 = 6, 6 ÷ 2 = 3, 6 ÷ 3 = 2
• 5 ÷ 1 = 5, 5 ÷ 5 = 1
• 4 ÷ 1 = 4, 4 ÷ 2 = 2
• 3 ÷ 1 = 3
• 2 ÷ 1 = 2
• 1 ÷ 1 = 1

Division with Remainders:

• Some division problems do not result in a whole number. These are called “division with remainders.”
• Example: 7 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1 (2 × 3 + 1 = 7).

Practice with Word Problems:

• Provide word problems to apply division in real-life situations.
• Example: “If there are 12 candies and 3 friends, how many candies does each friend get?”

Understanding Equal Groups:

• Emphasize that division means dividing into equal groups.
• Example: “Divide 6 apples into 3 equal groups. How many apples are in each group?”
