Multiplication and Division

Division is the opposite of multiplication. Just like with multiplication, you can use groups to work out the answer to division questions. 

Work out 8 ÷ 4 (which can also be written as 8/4) 

Solution

This problem is asking you to work out 8 divided by 4, or 8 shared by 4. 

Draw 8 dots. 

Try to form equal groups of 4. 

There are 2 groups.
