                  DIVISION BY EQUAL GROUPING

                  Division means equal grouping also.

                  Sujata’s mother made 15 laddoos. She wants to put 5 laddoos

                  on each plate. How many plates will she need?

                                       Mother puts 5 laddoos on one plate.

                                       15 – 5 = 10 laddoos left.

                  Mother then puts 5 laddoos on another plate.

                  10 – 5 = 5 laddoos left.                                                            Be Aware
                                                                                                   There is no difference
                                                                                                   between equal sharing
                                                                                                    and equal grouping.
                                    Finally, mother puts 5 left over
                                    laddoos on the third plate.
                                                                                      Think Tank                 Critical Thinking
                                    5 – 5 = 0 laddoos left.                         Make groups of 3 animals
                                                                                    each.  Each  group  must
                                    Thus, mother needs 3 plates to                  have all kinds of animals.

                  put all the laddoos.

                  We can say that 15 divided by 5 is equal to 3.

                  We write it as

                                         15 ÷ 5 = 3          Number of plates

                   Total number of                      Number of laddoos
                       laddoos                             on each plate

                  example:  Vidit has 18 donuts. He puts 3 donuts in a

                                  box. How many boxes will he need for all
                                  the donuts?

                  Solution:  Let us put 3 donuts in each box.

                                  Thus, Vidit needs 6 boxes for all the donuts.

                                  We can say that 18 divided by 3 is equal to 6. We write it as 18 ÷ 3 = 6.
