Division as a concept introduced
Test your understanding of division concept intro by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's divide 35 by 5
🎙️
Dividing is like having the large group of 35 and splitting it into 5 groups, to count how many are in each group
🎙️
Let's split them one at a time. The first 5 we put into groups gives us 1 in each group.
🎙️
5 more and we have 2 in each group
🎙️
Another 5, and now each group has 3
🎙️
The pattern is like skip counting. We've now moved 20 and we have 4 in each group.
🎙️
At 25 we have 5 in each group
🎙️
With 30, each group has 6
🎙️
And with all 35 divided, each group has 7, so our answer to 35 divided by 5, is 7
