Lesson details
Key learning points
- Objects can be divided equally between groups, sometimes with a remainder.
- When objects are divided equally between groups, it is called sharing.
- Multiplication and addition equations or division equations can be used to represent sharing with a remainder.
- Multiplication facts can be used to solve sharing problems.
Keywords
Sharing - Sharing is when a whole amount is split into equal parts or groups. We know the total number of objects and the number of parts it is split into, but we don't know how many are in each part.
Division - Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.
Remainder - A remainder is the amount left over after division when the dividend does not divide exactly by the divisor.
Common misconception
When faced with a bar model showing for example 5 parts, children often want to write a 5 in each part as they misunderstand how the grouping in fives relates to a sharing context.
Imagine arrays beneath the five parts of the bar model to secure understanding that the five parts represent five groups of ___ / the number of groups we are sharing between. Physically share a group of objects into these parts at any one time.
