How can you model a division problem to find how many in each group?

2. 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

3. 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?

4. 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.

Each student will get 4 pencils.

9. 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!

10. 12 (pencils) ÷ 3 (students) = 4 (pencils each student gets)
Vocabulary
12 (pencils) ÷ 3 (students) = 4 (pencils each student gets)

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.)
