Objective and Strategies Concrete Pictorial Abstract Sharing objects into groups I have 10 can you share them equally in 2 groups? Children use pictures or shapes to share quantities. Share 9 buns between three people. 9 ÷ 3 = 3 Division as grouping Divide quantities into equal groups. Use cubes, counters, objects or place value counters to aid understanding. Use a number line to show jumps in groups. The number of jumps equals the number of groups. Think of the bar as a whole. Split it into the number of groups you are dividing by and work out how many would be within each group. 28 ÷ 7 = 4 Divide 28 into 7 groups. How many are in each group? Division within arrays Link division to multiplication by creating an array and thinking about the number sentences that can be created. Eg 15 ÷ 3 = 5 5 x 3 = 15 15 ÷ 5 = 3 3 x 5 = 15 Draw an and use lines to split the array into groups to make multiplication and division sentences. Find the inverse of multiplication and division sentences by creating four linking number sentences. 7 x 4 = 28 4 x 7 = 28 28 ÷ 7 = 4 28 ÷ 4 = 7
