Max Maths, Year 4, Learn together, Division review (1)

In a Year 4 mathematics lesson, students review division concepts through practical examples. The lesson begins with a simple question: How many groups of 3 can be made from a set of 12 paper clips? By dividing 12 by 3, the students discover that it is possible to form 4 equal groups, each containing 3 paper clips. This exercise helps students visualise division as the process of making equal groups from a larger number, reinforcing their understanding that 12 paper clips can be evenly distributed into 4 groups of 3.

The lesson continues with a similar problem, further consolidating the students' division skills. This time, the question asks how many groups of 2 paper clips can be created from the same set of 12 paper clips. Performing the division 12 divided by 2 yields 6, indicating that 6 equal groups of 2 paper clips can be formed. Through these exercises, students practice and review their division skills, learning to divide a whole into equal parts and understanding the relationship between division and grouping.
