Division Notes:
· Multiplication is putting together equal groups.
· Division is sharing an amount into equal groups.
· Multiplication and division are inverse operations. They reverse each other.
· Multiplication/Division Fact Family:
7x8 = 56
8x7 = 56
56 ÷ 7 = 8
56 ÷ 8 = 7
EQ: How can we use the multiplication facts we know to solve division problems?
Question: 49 ÷ 7 = ?
Think: 7 x what = 49 ???
7 x 7 = 49. So, 49 ÷ 7 = 7.
32 ÷ 8 = ?
Related fact: Answer:
8 x 4 = 32 4
24 ÷ 3 = ?
Related fact: Answer:
3 x 8 = 24 8
72 ÷ 8 = ?
Related fact: Answer:
8 x 9 = 72 9
50 ÷ 5 = ?
Related fact: Answer:
5 x 10 = 50 10
Vocabulary:
Dividend:The number being divided or shared apart *(The biggest number!)
Divisor: The number of groups we are sharing the dividend into
*(how many groups we are splitting the big number up into)
Quotient: the answer to a division problem
*(how many things are going to be shared into each group)
