In maths, we’ve been learning to divide.
This week, we’ve used the idea of sharing to help us to divide. When dividing by sharing equally, you’re calculating how much (or how many) each person (group) gets.
When dividing by sharing, it’s important to ask some key questions:
- How many are there altogether?
- How many groups are there?
We can use these questions to write our division equation.
The children really impressed me with their learning. We practised division by sharing using counters, saying these stem sentences to show our understanding:
Help at home by practising some division by sharing. We love this game.
