Lesson 5 of 5
Sharing equally
Step 1
🍬🍬🍬🍬 | 🍬🍬🍬🍬 | 🍬🍬🍬🍬
Sharing equally means everyone gets the same. 12 sweets for 3 friends: 4 each. 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
Step 2
3 × 4 = 12 ➜ 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Sharing is times tables backwards. If 3 × 4 = 12, then 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
Step 3
🍪🍪🍪 | 🍪🍪🍪 | 🍪
Sometimes some are left over. 7 biscuits for 2 children: 3 each, 1 left over.
🤝 Let's do one together
20 bananas go into 5 bags equally. How many in each bag?
💡 5 × 4 = 20. So 20 ÷ 5 = 4 bananas in each bag.
