Basic Division

What is Division?

Division is like sharing or splitting things equally.

Imagine you have 9 yummy candies, and you want to share them with 3 friends so that everyone gets the same amount. That’s what division is!

Example:

If you have 8 toys and share them with 2 friends, each gets 4 toys.

8 ÷ 2 = 4

If you have 10 apples and share with 5 friends, each gets 2 apples.

10 ÷ 5 = 2
