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?
