Max Maths, Year 3, Practice, Division without remainder

In a practical exercise designed for Year 3 students, the concept of division without remainders is introduced using relatable scenarios. The first task presents a simple division problem: "Divide 12 apples equally into 2 groups." This challenges the students to distribute the apples evenly, prompting them to calculate how many apples would be in each group. The mathematical expression for this operation is written as "12 ÷ 2 = ", and students are expected to complete the equation by finding the quotient, thereby determining the number of apples per group.

The practice continues with a slightly more complex division task, where students are asked to divide 30 buns into groups of 5. To visualise the division process, they are encouraged to use counting blocks to represent the buns. This hands-on approach helps them understand the division as a grouping exercise. They are guided to set up the division equation "30 ÷ 5" and then solve it to find out how many groups of buns they can form. The exercise includes a reference to symbols for ones and tens, which may assist in organising the counting blocks and reinforcing place value concepts. Students are directed to workbook pages 142 to 145 for additional practice and to solidify their understanding of division without remainders.
