What is the process of repeated subtraction in division?

Back

Repeated subtraction is a method used to solve division problems by subtracting the divisor from the dividend until reaching zero. The number of times you subtract is the quotient.

How do you represent division using multiplication facts?

Back

Division can be represented using multiplication facts by identifying the relationship between the numbers. For example, if 20 ÷ 4 = 5, it can be represented as 4 x 5 = 20.

What is an array, and how is it used in division?

Back

An array is a visual representation of objects arranged in rows and columns. It helps in understanding division by showing how many groups can be formed from a total number of items.

How do you find the number of items per group in a division problem?

Back

To find the number of items per group, divide the total number of items by the number of groups. For example, 12 papers divided into groups of 3 results in 4 groups.

What is a divisor in division?

Back

A divisor is the number by which another number (the dividend) is divided. It represents the number of equal groups.

Front

What is the quotient in a division problem?

Back

The quotient is the result of a division problem, representing how many times the divisor fits into the dividend.

Front

What is the dividend in a division problem?

Back

The dividend is the number that is being divided by the divisor in a division problem.

Front

How can you use grouping to solve division problems?

Back

Grouping involves creating equal sets from a total amount to determine how many groups can be formed, which is a practical way to visualize division.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If a x b = c, then c ÷ a = b and c ÷ b = a.

How can drawing help in solving division problems?

Back

Drawing can help visualize the problem, making it easier to understand how to divide items into groups or arrays.
