Division is all about fair and equal sharing. If you divide a certain number by a smaller number (except 0 or 1), you will get an answer that is smaller. Dividing numbers means repeatedly subtracting an amount until a certain number of times, and none is left.

See the fact file below for more information on the dividing visually or alternatively, you can download our 26-page Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Dividing Visually CCSS 3.OA.2 worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment.

Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

  • At the end of the lesson, the student will be able to interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers by understanding that dividing means partitioning a set of objects into equal groups.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER

  • When dividing visually, take note of the following:
    • Remember that it is all about partitioning a bigger number into equal groups.
    • Relate division to multiplication.
    • Check your answer through subtraction.
    • Remember that the quotient is usually a smaller number than the dividend.

THEORY

  • Division is all about fair and equal sharing.
  • If you divide a certain number by a smaller number (except 0 or 1), you will get an answer that is smaller. Dividing numbers means repeatedly subtracting an amount until a certain number of times, and none is left. The number being divided is called the dividend, while the number that states the number of times the dividend is divided is called the divisor. The multiplicand is the factor that is being multiplied. The answer is called the quotient.
  • Recall multiplication.
    • number of groups x number in each group = total
  • Division is the reverse of multiplication.
    • total ÷ number of groups = number in each group
  • Therefore, in the number sentence, the product becomes the dividend, while the factors become the divisor and the quotient.
  • Consider 8 ÷ 4 = 2
  • First, we can draw 4 containers that represent 4 groups:

  • Then, we can give 1 to each group:

  • Repeat the process until you’re left with none:

  • Now there is an equal amount shared in the four groups.
  • What is the value subtracted to 8 four times that equals 0?
  • We subtract 2 from 8 four times for it to be 0→ 8 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 = 0
