Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A division equation has three parts - the dividend, the divisor and the quotient.
- For grouping, the divisor represents the size of each group. For sharing, the divisor represents the number of groups.
- Multiplication equations can be used to solve division problems.
Common misconception
The difference between grouping and sharing is a distinction that some may find tricky to grasp.
Remind children about the importance of understanding the different structures of division when interpreting a story. You could stress the difference, dividing the class into teams using grouping, then sharing.
Keywords
