Division

Sharks and Whales have been learning to solve division problems by using addition.

We had to read the word problems carefully.

There were 12  lollies in the lolly jar and 4 children. How many lollies does each child get?

 Georgia tried adding 4+4+4+4=16 but that was too many.

Georgia then tried 3 in each group 3+3+3+3=12

Each child got 3 lollies.

 There were 16 angry birds and each knocked down the same amount of blocks. How many blocks did each angry bird knock down?

Cam went 4+4+4+4=16

Each angry bird knocked down 4 blocks.
