Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Understanding Whole Number Division. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Interpret quotients as a number of objects in each share.

Interpret models as division expressions (Pictorial representation of 15 shapes being divided into 3 equal groups of 5 as 15 / 3 = 5).

In the equation c ÷ a = b interpret ÷ to mean split into [a] equal groups or split into equal groups of [a].

Split quantities into equal groups (whole number quotients only).

Quantities split into equal groups will not have a quantity remaining.

Interpret quotients as a number of equal shares.

There are two kinds of division situations depending on which factor is the unknown. The number of objects in each group or the number of groups.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What symbol do mathematicians use for division? How could we find the divisor if it is missing? Imagine you are dividing a bag of candy with a group of friends - how could you make sure everyone gets a fair amount?

After the Game

How are multiplication and division related? Do we always end up with an even number when we divide? What strategy did you use to find the missing divisor?
