Understanding Division Through Story Problems

This video tutorial teaches how to transform a division expression into a story problem using the sharing model. It explains the components of the sharing model and provides examples with lollipops and fish to illustrate how to divide objects equally among groups. The video emphasizes understanding the roles of the dividend, divisor, and quotient in division word problems.
