Division is a way of splitting a number into equal groups. It tells us how many are in each group or how many groups can be made.
Division is the opposite of multiplication. If 3 × 4 = 12, then 12 ÷ 3 = 4 and 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
Division facts are the answers to division problems we know quickly, without needing to count. They are connected to multiplication facts.
Memorizing multiplication facts helps you recall division facts quickly.
A fact family shows how multiplication and division are related. Each family has four related facts.
Knowing the whole fact family makes it easier to solve both multiplication and division problems.
It is important to practice division facts with divisors from 1 through 12 until you know them with confidence.
Fluency means you can solve division problems quickly and accurately without extra steps.
Division is used in everyday situations when we share or group items equally.
Thinking of real-world examples can help you understand and remember division facts better.
