Division

Now we are going to talk about division. To do division you need to know your times tables really well! So if you think you know your times tables just read this page and in blink of an eye you will become an expert at division!

Now first we have to know the definition of division: Division is when you seperate something into equal parts or groups. (The symbol for division is ‘÷’)

So we all know that 6×5=30. Now lets do it the other way like 30÷6=5, because we know that 6×5=30. So we basically saying how many times do you need to add 5 to get 30 and visa versa. Now lets give some examples of questions that have division in it.

Tom had 72 lollies and needed to split it up between 9 friends how many lollies do each friend get?

    1. First we do 72÷9=8 (because 9×8=72)
    2. So therefore the answer is 8 lollies.
