Year 4 Maths: Simple Division

What is Division?

Hello, Year 4! Today, we are going to learn about division. Division is a way to split something into equal parts. It’s like sharing!

For example, if you have 12 sweets and you want to share them with 3 friends, you can use division to find out how many sweets each friend gets.

How to Do Simple Division

When we divide, we use the division symbol, which looks like this: ÷.

Example:

If we divide 12 by 3, we write it like this:

This means we want to find out how many times 3 can fit into 12.

Let’s Solve It!

1. Start with the number 12.
2. How many times does 3 go into 12?
3. Count: 3, 6, 9, 12. That’s 4 times!

So,

This means each friend gets 4 sweets!

Key Rules of Division

1. Division is sharing: You are splitting something into equal parts.
2. The larger number is first: Always put the bigger number (the total) before the division sign.
3. The smaller number is second: This is how many groups you are dividing into.

Tips and Tricks

• Use multiplication to check your work! If you think $$12 \div 3 = 4$$ , you can check by multiplying: $$4 \times 3 = 12$$ .
• Practice with real-life situations: Try sharing snacks or toys with your friends and use division to find out how many each person gets.
• Look for patterns: Learn your times tables! They can help you with division. For example, if you know that $$3 \times 4 = 12$$ , then you also know that $$12 \div 3 = 4$$ .
