Division
Sharing into equal groups, and what the remainder really means.
What this lesson covers
Division is a 8-part Class 4 Mathematics lesson. Each part makes one point and then hands over to the next, so it can be read in a sitting or picked up again at the part you stopped on. It defines the idea in plain words before using it, works through an example step by step, breaks the topic into its parts and compares them, shows where it is used outside the textbook, names the mistakes that cost marks in an exam, ends with a recap of what to remember.
How it begins
12 ÷ 3 can be read two ways, and both are useful. Sharing: 12 shared between 3 people. How many each? 4. Grouping: how many 3s fit into 12? 4. Same answer, different picture. When a question confuses you, try the other reading.
