Discovering division



Good afternoon from 1/2LK. We did a fantastic investigation about division. We used counters to work out the answers. Before we worked it out we predicted. Here are some of the things we discovered:

Four groups of four makes a square number. The number is sixteen. Alisha

We learnt about columns and rows. Emile

Nine is a square number. Jamil

I learnt that it's important to check that you have the right amount of counters otherwise you'll get the wrong answer. Riley

I learnt that when you are doing division you share into equal groups. Amelia

Columns are like pillars they go up and down. Sean

I learnt that you can divide with even and odd numbers. Sophia

Not every division gave us equal groups. Sometimes there were counters left over. Sarah
