Today we are

going to study a
very interesting
concept
Separate four coins
and place them as a
group on the table.
Repeat this until all
the coins are in
separate groups.
This is division
Division
• Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.

Symbols
• We use the symbol, or sometimes the symbol to divide.

Example: 4 2 or 4/2 or 4
2
Terminologies
Dividend:
The amount that you want to divide is called “ dividend”.
Divisor:
The “divisor” is the number that the dividend will be divided by.
Example:
10

5
 Remainder
sometimes we cannot divide things up evenly ... there may be something left over.

Example: There are 7 bones to share with 2 pups.

But 7 cannot be divided exactly into 2 groups,
so each pup gets 3 bones,
but there will be 1 left over:

The left over is called Remainder.

Quotient
The answer after you divide one number by
another

i-e dividend ÷ divisor =

quotient Example: in 12 ÷ 4 =

3 is the quotient
example

quotient 5

divisor 3 16 dividend
15

remainder
How to identify division word problem
• Divide
evenly
• Cut
• Split
• Share
• Each
• Every
• Average
• Equal pieces
• Out of
• Ratio
• Quotient
 Mandy has 36 cookies and she wants to
share them with her friends 6 friends. How
many cookies will each friend receive.
The key words here are share and each
because they both refer to division.
Strategies

•Addition
•Subtraction
•Simple division method
•Symbols or drawings
Strategy no. 1
• Add the divisor until you get the dividend digit
• Example
• 24 3
• 3 3+3 = 6 6+3 = 9 9+3 = 12 12+3 = 15 15+3 = 18 18+3 = 21
21+3 = 24
• So 8 is the answer.
Strategy no. 2
• Subtract the divisor from the dividend unless you get zero. The
number of times you have subtracted is the answer to your
question
• Example
162
• 16-2 =
14

14-2 = 12

12-2= 10
Strategy no. 3

Ali has 6 pieces of pizza. He wants to share it with Aliya. How
many pieces of each of them will get?
Total pieces = 6
We will share one by one such as

So each of them gets 3 pieces of pizza.
