Speaker: Division is what you do when you share or divide things into equal parts.

If you divide these 6 pears between 2 people you would get 3 pears each.

To share this tray of 30 nectarines between 5 of us, I need to divide it by 5.

Which means we get 6 nectarines each.

Sometimes just arranging things differently makes it easier to see a solution.

So there are 40 cherries here with lots of ways they can be shared out fairly.

4 of us would get 10 each, 5 of us would get 8 each, and 2 of us would get 20 each.

Speaker: I'm helping out at a kid's birthday party and I've got to sort the goodie bags.

I want to split these between 10 bags.

36 goodies to share between 10 children.

So each bag gets 3 things with 6 left over.

Sometimes when you do division it doesn't work out exactly.

You are left with a remainder or a fraction.

I can't give each of them a part of a toy: I'll keep those.

Speaker: There are 120 sweets here.

One way to divide these by 10 for the party bags is to put them into groups of 10, then I count how many sweets are in each group.

They divide equally this time with the same number of sweets in each group.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 sweets in each party bag.
