                  DIVISION AS EQUAL SHARING

                  Division means equal sharing.

                  Christmas is a festival of joy and
                  happiness. Peter and his friends

                  are waiting for Santa Claus. At
                  midnight, Santa Claus comes with

                  12 gift items for the children.

                  He shares all the gifts equally

                  among the 4 children.

                  12 gift boxes are distributed (shared) equally among 4 children. Each child gets 3

                  gift boxes.
                  Also, we can say 12 divided by 4 is 3.

                  This can be written as 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
                                                                                     Fast Check
                  ‘12 ÷ 4 = 3’ is called the division expression                   How many gifts  would  each
                  or division fact for the statement “Twelve                       child  get if 12 gifts  were shared

                  divided by four is three”.                                       among 3 children?

                       Activity
                   1. Divide the class into groups of 4 students.                                               Experiential Learning

                   2. Distribute 24 or 36 beads/counters or small objects.
                   3. Call out a number from 2 to 6.
                   4. All the groups will make that many groups of the objects given to them.
                   5. Ask them to call out the division fact based on the number of groups and the number
                      of objects in each group.
                   6. Give one point for the correct division fact.

                   7. Repeat for the other numbers.
