Max Maths, Year 3, Learn together, Division without remainder (2)

In an engaging Year 3 maths lesson from Max Maths, students are invited to learn about division without remainders. The task at hand is a practical and relatable one: dividing 28 strawberries into equal groups of 4. This simple division problem is presented in a way that makes it easy for young learners to grasp the concept of division as sharing equally. The solution to the problem is clearly demonstrated, showing that when 28 strawberries are divided into groups of 4, there are 7 equal groups. This is expressed mathematically as 28 ÷ 4 = 7, indicating that the division of 28 by 4 yields 7 groups of strawberries.

To further enhance understanding, the lesson incorporates a visual aid in the form of counting blocks. These blocks represent the strawberries and are used to visually demonstrate the division process. By arranging the blocks into groups, students can clearly see how the 28 strawberries are divided into 4 equal groups, reinforcing the calculation 28 ÷ 4 = 7. The use of ones and tens symbols alongside the counting blocks helps to connect the concept of division with place value, providing a foundation for more complex mathematical skills. This hands-on approach to learning division is designed to make the subject matter accessible and enjoyable for Year 3 students.
