Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Review of equal sharing and equal grouping

In the Max Maths workbook for Year 3, students are encouraged to practice and review their understanding of equal sharing and grouping, a fundamental concept in division. On workbook pages 132 to 136, they encounter exercises designed to reinforce their division skills. One of the exercises presents a scenario with an unspecified number of dots divided into an unspecified number of groups, prompting students to write the corresponding division sentence once the numbers are known.

The workbook guides students through reading comprehension exercises where they translate written word problems into division sentences. For example, "Fourteen divided by two is seven" becomes 14 ÷ 2 = 7. Similarly, "Twelve divided by four equals three" is written as 12 ÷ 4 = 3, and "Fifteen divided by three is equal to five" translates to 15 ÷ 3 = 5. These exercises help students understand how division is described in both words and numbers. The 'Let's Practise' section provides additional problems for students to complete, such as 10 ÷ 2 = 5, 6 ÷ 3 = 2, and 4 ÷ 2 = 2, as well as slightly more challenging ones like 21 ÷ 3 = 7, 24 ÷ 4 = 6, and 30 ÷ 5 = 6. These activities are designed to build confidence and proficiency in division through repetitive practice.
