Today we will move on to division by grouping. This is another way to solve division calculations. Watch the video to learn more about this method.

Remember..

• The first number = total amount 
• The second number = How many in each group. 

Now have a go at this activity with your child. Give them simple division calculations and help them to find the answer by putting the objects into groups.

E.g. 8 ÷ 2=

• Count out 8 objects
• Put them in groups of 2
• How many groups have you made? That is your answer.

• List the dishes (main meals and desserts)
