            Division
Division as Equal Sharing 

In this section, we shall form sets of equal objects from a given quantity.
Example: 3 girls shared 6 oranges equally among themselves.
The learner take the oranges 1 at a time until all the 6 pencils are finished.

   

                                                                                                                                                            
           ●●                ●●              ●●       
            



                 6    ÷  3 = 2

Count how many oranges each girl received 
Each girl received 2 oranges.


Division as repeated subtraction 


Put 12 pencils on a table 
Make equal groups where each groups contain 3 pencils 
Count the number of equal groups formed.

               ///           ///            ///           ///
              
                

                12               ÷         3         =   4

             4 equal groups were formed

This could be solved by repeatedly subtracting.


           12-3= 9 ,  9-3 =6, 6-3 = 3,  3-3 = 0.

           12-3-3-3-3=0. 

         Therefore 12÷3=4
   


Division as Inverse Multiplication 


15             ÷        3 =  what?


              Means 



3        ×        What?    = 15
