Division for Kids (Candy Land theme)

Mrs. Taylor takes students on a Candyland adventure to learn division. The journey includes exploring different division strategies like repeated subtraction, using a number line, understanding fact families, and creating equal groups. Each section of Candyland offers a unique way to understand division, culminating in a math challenge where students apply what they've learned.

What is the first step in the repeated subtraction strategy for division?

• Add the divisor to the dividend

• Start with the smallest number

• Multiply the divisor by the dividend

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend repeatedly

How many times do you subtract 6 from 18 to reach zero?

• Two times

• Three times

• Four times

• Five times

In the Licorice Lagoon, what is the first jump on the number line when dividing 12 by 4?

• From 12 to 4

• From 12 to 10

• From 12 to 8

• From 12 to 6

What is the result of 12 divided by 4 using the number line method?

• 5

• 4

• 3

• 2

What is a fact family in mathematics?

• A group of numbers that are all prime

• A set of related multiplication and division facts

• A set of related addition and subtraction facts

• A group of unrelated numbers

Which of the following is part of the fact family for 18, 2, and 9?

• 9 * 2 = 17

• 18 / 2 = 8

• 2 * 9 = 16

• 18 / 9 = 2

How many gumdrops are in each group when 20 gumdrops are divided into 4 equal groups?

• 3

• 4

• 5

• 6

What is the division equation for dividing 20 gumdrops into groups of 5?

• 20 / 5 = 6

• 20 / 5 = 3

• 20 / 5 = 5

• 20 / 5 = 4

What is the first step in the math challenge involving real-life objects?

• Divide items into random groups

• Sort items into 2 to 10 equal groups

• Count the total number of items

• Draw a picture of the items

If you have 8 footballs and divide them into 2 equal groups, how many footballs are in each group?

• 2

• 3
