What is division?
“Division is used when a person knows the product(the whole) and one factor: that is, dividend – divisor = quotient + remainder”. (Smith, 2009,175)
Example of problems involving division:
Question
- Emma has 6 lollipops. He then shares evenly with three of his friends. How many lollipops does each of them get?
2. Peter has 20 apples. He gives two apples to each of his students. How many students does he has?
