What is division?
Division is sharing a number into equal groups, or finding how many equal groups fit inside it. Twenty-four shared into six groups is four in each, so twenty-four divided by six is four. This game asks one division at a time, from the facts that sit beside the times tables up to dividing a bigger number by a single digit. The answer checks itself the moment you tap, and the working shows the multiplication fact behind it, so a miss teaches the link rather than just marking a cross.
How do you play the Division game?
A division appears, such as 24 divided by 6, and you tap the answer from the four choices. Easy stays with the friendly facts, dividing by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10, Medium covers all the table facts to twelve, and Hard divides a two-digit or small three-digit number by a single digit, still coming out whole every time. Every answer is a whole number, so there is never a remainder to worry about yet.
Division from grade 3 to grade 5
Division arrives in third grade, right after the times tables, because the two are the same facts in reverse. Fourth and fifth grade divide larger numbers by one digit. Because the difficulty is a button, one page carries a child from their first division facts to dividing into the hundreds. To keep the facts underneath it quick, our times tables practice drills the matching multiplication.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Division game practice?
Division, starting with the facts that go with the times tables, like 24 divided by 6, and moving up to dividing a bigger number by a single digit, like 96 divided by 4. Every answer is a whole number, it checks itself the moment you tap, and the working shows the matching multiplication fact.
How are division and multiplication related?
They are two sides of the same fact. If 6 times 4 is 24, then 24 divided by 6 is 4 and 24 divided by 4 is 6. That is why quick times tables make division quick too, and why the working on every question points back to the multiplication fact.
What grade is division for?
Division facts start in third grade, once the times tables are being learned, and dividing larger numbers by one digit comes in fourth and fifth grade. Start on Easy for the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 facts, then move up as they become automatic.
