Understanding Division Representations

The lesson covers four ways to represent division: verbally using words, using the division symbol, using the long division symbol (or 'house'), and as a fraction. Each method is explained with examples, focusing on the division of 8 by 2. The verbal method involves describing the division in words, while the symbolic method uses division symbols. The fractional method represents division as a fraction, with the numerator as the dividend and the denominator as the divisor. The lesson concludes with a recap of these methods.
