How can you model a division problem to find how many in each group? Size of Equal Groups How can you model a division problem to find how many in each group?
When you divide… You separate things (people, cookies, toys, etc.) into EQUAL GROUPS Each group has to have the SAME amount of things as all the other groups
Let’s Divide! Ms. Percy has 12 pencils. She wants to give 3 students an equal number of pencils. How many pencils will each student get?
Let’s Divide! Ms. Percy has 12 pencils. She wants to give 3 students an equal number of pencils. How many pencils will each student get? This problem can be solved with DIVISION because we are going to separate the 12 pencils into 3 equal groups.

Let’s Divide! Ms. Percy has 12 pencils. She wants to give 3 students an equal number of pencils. How many pencils will each student get?
Each student will get 4 pencils. Let’s Divide! Ms. Percy has 12 pencils. She wants to give 3 students an equal number of pencils. How many pencils will each student get? Each student will get 4 pencils.
Each student will get 4 pencils. Let’s Divide! Ms. Percy has 12 pencils. She wants to give 3 students an equal number of pencils. How many pencils will each student get? 12 (pencils) ÷ 3 (students) = 4 (pencils each student gets) Each student will get 4 pencils. When it asks, how many will EACH get, it is the same as asking how many will ONE GROUP get!
12 (pencils) ÷ 3 (students) = 4 (pencils each student gets) Vocabulary 12 (pencils) ÷ 3 (students) = 4 (pencils each student gets) dividend divisor quotient ÷ =
Let’s try another one. Silas has 8 baseball cards that he wants to organize. He puts the baseball cards equally into 4 different bins. How many baseball cards does he put in each bin? This problem can be solved with DIVISION because we are going to separate the 8 baseball cards into 4 equal groups. (Each group is 1 bin.)
Let’s try another one. Silas has 8 baseball cards that he wants to organize. He puts the baseball cards equally into 4 different bins. How many baseball cards does he put in each bin?
Let’s try another one. Silas has 8 baseball cards that he wants to organize. He puts the baseball cards equally into 4 different bins. How many baseball cards does he put in each bin? 8 (cards) ÷ 4 (bins) = 2 (cards in each bin)
dividend divisor quotient Vocabulary 8 (cards) ÷ 4 (bins) = 2 (cards in each bin) dividend divisor quotient ÷ =

Your Turn Model each problem. Then, write an equation under each problem. There are 14 marbles being shared equally among 2 friends. How many marbles does each friend get? There are 10 marbles. I want them into 5 bags. How many marbles are in each bag? There are 8 apples in each basket. There are 2 baskets. How many apples are there? If 3 friends share 15 pieces of candy, how much candy does each friend get? Sam has 3 pencils in his backpack. Then he found 4 more in his room. How many pencils does he have? 14÷2=7 10÷5=2 2×8=16 15÷3=5 3+4=7
How can you model a division problem to find how many in each group?
Bonus Question Write an equation that could represent this model below. Then write a different equation that represents the model. Then write another different equation that represents the model. 3+3=6 2×3=6 6÷2=3
The number of apples in each (or 1) basket. Bonus Question Using the model to help you, what does the 3 represent in the equation? 6÷2=3 The number of apples in each (or 1) basket.
Exit Ticket Match the problem to the equation that can be used to solve it. Tomas has 6 muffins and 2 plates. He wants to put the same number of muffins on each plate. How many muffins will be on each plate? 6 + 2 = 8 Yesterday, Mickey ate 6 cookies at lunch time and 2 cookies after dinner. How many cookies did he eat yesterday? 6 ÷ 2 = 3 Yasmin has 6 stickers on each page of her sticker book. Her sticker book has 2 pages. How many stickers does Yasmin have? 2 x 6 = 12
