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.
