You can use
counters to help you think about division.
Place
12
counters on your desk.
|
Example 1
|
 |
Think of division
as sharing. Suppose you
are sharing 12 counters with
3 groups. How many counters would each
person receive? 4
|
12
3
= 4
|
You can use a
table to write a division sentence about your model.
|
Example 2 |
|
Think of division
as sharing. Suppose you
are sharing 12 counters with
2 groups. How many counters would each
person receive? 6
|
12
2
= 6
|
You can use a
table to write a division sentence about your model.
 |
Remember:
Think of division as the
opposite of multiplication.
