Here are three monkeys. If they share the bananas equally, each monkey will get two bananas. 6 bananas divided into 3 equal parts = 2 bananas each 63=2
and two monkeys, each monkey will get three bananas. Six bananas 2 = 3 bananas each 62=3
Give children the experience of sharing things equally and writing corresponding division statements.

If there are 60 bananas and two monkeys, how many will each monkey get? bananas. N Five friends found 10 five-rupee coins on the ground. They shared them equally. Each friend got ten rupees. 50 5 = 10
If there are 16 ten-rupee notes and four friends to share, then 16 4 = so each friend gets and 4 10 = 40 rupees.
Five friends found Rs 100. If they share it equally, how much will each get? N Hari Prashad has 30 metres of rope. He distributes it equally among his three children. Each child gets metres of rope.

How Many Shelves? I have 20 books. I can keep 5 books in one shelf, so how many shelves do I need in my almirah? Five books in the first shelf. 15 books are left.
5 more books in the fourth shelf. 20 books have filled up 4 shelves of the almirah. 20 books put into equal groups of 5 each take 4 shelves.
On this and the following page, division is done by making equal groups. For instance, here equal groups of 5 books each have been made. This process is different from sharing them equally (by distributing them into 4 shelves).

How Quick Are You? N Divide into groups of 2 using 2 times table.
18 2 = 18 9 = 16 2 = 20 2 = 2 = 7 2 = 10 8 = 4 9 2 Hint: 2 9 = 18
2 = 5
15 5 = 40 = 8
50 10 = 40 = 4
20 5 = 5 = 6 25 5 = 5 = 3 35 5 = 5 = 2
10 = 8 10 = 5 10 = 3 10 = 60 2
= 4
Encourage children to explore the use of multiplication facts for division through mental computation.
