In math, division is separating numbers into equal groups. A simple way to kids to understand division as sharing between groups. Three tips below are helpful for teaching and practicing division.
  • Teach division vocabulary.
  • Use story to teach division. For example, we have 12 cookies and we want to share them among three friends, how many cookies does everyone get?

Hello,

Make sure that you remember to use words like share and divide throughout so that your child becomes familiar with the concepts.

Start with 4 blocks. Share them into 2 equally sized groups.
Start with 10 blocks. Share them into 2 equally sized groups.
Start with 6 blocks. Share them into 3 equally sized groups.

Thanks
