After helping students gain an understanding through the hands-on approach, you can then move onto common multiples of 2, 5, and 10. It is important that pupils know their multiplications first as to be able to work backward. For example, 7 x 4 = 28. So therefore 28 divided by 4 equals 7. Having a good working knowledge of the multiplication tables helps calculations of division.
Work through each number from 1 to 10 until pupils are comfortable dividing numbers without any remainders. Once they have built a good foundation, move onto the next stage.
Division with remainders comes up next. Pupils must understand what to do with the leftover items and how to express them in the calculation. Using stated at the end of the equation, with a letter R, expresses how many of the remainders can be found. Again, it is best to start with objects to introduce this equation, then once the child is comfortable with the concept, move on without using the objects.
Division can be a complex problem for a child, but following these steps will help your child come to terms with it. Counters and objects are a perfect way for your child to visualize the problem and enable them to find a solution. Division will take time, so plenty of encouragement will allow them to become masters at math.
