Division
Share equally and group, use times tables backwards, and handle remainders.
What your child learns
- Division is sharing into equal groups
- Use multiplication facts to divide
- Decide what to do with a remainder in real life
Example
27 children, 4 per car: 27 ÷ 4 = 6 r 3, so you need 7 cars.
