Division Sharing with Visuals Worksheets
How Does Sharing Relate to Division? If you want to understand the concept of division, you can start by understanding sharing. It is the most common way to get grasp of the concept of the fourth arithmetic operation. Sharing is to give a portion of something to others. Consider a scenario where you have to share $15 with your two other siblings equally. How will you do it? You will keep $5 with yourself, and give $5 to each of the two siblings, right? How did you do it? You divided the amount in three. Well, this is what division means. You have to equally share the given amount in the required number of portions. When you mathematically divide 15 by 3, you will get 5, which was how you divided the money equally between three people. When you understand the concept of sharing, you will know how to divide.
