Division | Maths

This week we learnt what division is and how to use division. 

We made a google slide explaning what division is, place value in division, remainders in division and strategies that we can use in division. First we explained what division is. Division is spliting a gorup into equal peices. 

Next we explained strategies that we could use in division. One of the easyest strategies we learnt was multiplcation and pitcures of groups. For example: 3 x 4 = 12 you can reverse that and make it division then the answer would be 12 ÷ 3 = 4.

Then we explained what remainders are in division. For example: 149 ÷ 4. 8 ÷ 4 = 2 9 from the 149 is close to 8 so we could do 9 ÷ 4 = 2 r 1. then we divided the 40 by 4 which makes 10. Then we divded the 100 by 4 which made 25. Then we got our total 37 r 1. Instead of having remainder 1 we spilt the 1 into 4 quaters which made .25 and thwen added it on to the 37 which made 37 .25.

Lastly we explained the place value in division. When dividing big numbers and small numbers 10x bigger numbers move to the left once. For example:   120 ÷ 4 = 30. 12 ÷ 4 = 30 10x bigger numbers moves to left once.

Divison is a good strategy that can help you in multiplcation and fractions.
