                  3.  16 gulabjamuns are to be put in 4 plates. Can you do it by drawing gulabjamuns

                       on these plates?

                       Also, write the division fact.

                  DIVISION BY REPEATED SUBTRACTION

                  Repeated subtraction can also be used for division.

                  Anil has 8 marbles. He puts 2 marbles into a bowl.

                                                               8 – 2 = 6      ...(1)

                  Then, he puts 2 marbles into second bowl.

                                                               6 – 2 = 4       ...(2)

                  He wants to fill the bowls with marbles.

                  So, he puts 2 marbles into third bowl

                                                               4 – 2 = 2      ...(3)

                  and finally, puts the remaining 2 marbles into the fourth bowl.

                                                               2 – 2 = 0   ...(4)

                  Here, 2 is subtracted 4 times from 8.

                  Also, 8 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 = 0

                  Thus, division is actually repeated subtraction.

                  We can write ‘subtracting 2 repeatedly 4 times’ as 8 ÷ 2 = 4.

                   teacher’s
                      tip      Strenthen the concept of repeated subtraction using some concrete items like pencils,
                               erasers, beads, etc. and inviting the children in groups of different numbers.
