                  DIVISION AS EQUAL SHARING

                  Division means equal sharing.

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

                  are waiting for Santa Claus. At the

                  midnight, Santa Claus comes with
                  12 gift items for the children.

                  He shares all the gifts equally

                  among the 4 children.

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

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

                  This can be written as 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
                                                                                     Quick Check
                  “12 ÷ 4 = 3” is called the division expression                   How many gifts each child could

                  or division fact for the statement “Twelve                       get if 12 gifts were shared among

                  divided by four is three”.                                       3 children only?

                        activity
                   Divide the class into groups of 2, 3, 4 and 6 students. Call out the groups one

                   by one in front of the class. Give them 24 or 36 seeds, beads or small objects and ask
                   them  to  share it  among themselves. Speak  aloud  how many have they shared equally
                   among the themselves and how many each one got. Encourage them to write a division

                   fact  on  the blackboard for their  distribution.  Repeat  the  activity  with  other  groups of
                   students with different number of beads or objects (that are divisible by the number of
                   students called out).
