Let's solve each problem step by step using
division with pictures. The goal is to divide a total number of items into equal groups and find how many items are in each group.

1. Divide 10 balls into groups of 2. How many balls in each group?
We have
10 soccer balls, and we want to divide them into
groups of 2.
- Group 1: ⚽⚽
- Group 2: ⚽⚽
- Group 3: ⚽⚽
- Group 4: ⚽⚽
- Group 5: ⚽⚽
We made
5 groups, each with
2 balls.
✔ Division sentence:
$$
10 \div 2 = 5

2. Divide 8 watermelons into groups of 4. How many watermelons in each group?
We have
8 watermelons, dividing into
groups of 4.
- Group 1: 🍉🍉🍉🍉
- Group 2: 🍉🍉🍉🍉
That’s
2 groups, each with
4 watermelons.
✔ Division sentence:
$$
8 \div 4 = 2
$$

3. Divide 14 oranges into groups of 7. How many oranges in each group?
We have
14 oranges, dividing into
groups of 7.
- Group 1: 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊 (7 oranges)
- Group 2: 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊 (7 oranges)
So,
2 groups, each with
7 oranges.
✔ Division sentence:
$$
14 \div 7 = 2
$$

4. Divide 12 cupcakes into groups of 4. How many cupcakes in each group?
We have
12 cupcakes, dividing into
groups of 4.
- Group 1: 🧁🧁🧁🧁
- Group 2: 🧁🧁🧁🧁
- Group 3: 🧁🧁🧁🧁
That’s
3 groups, each with
4 cupcakes.
✔ Division sentence:
$$
12 \div 4 = 3
$$

5. Divide 18 strawberries into groups of 3. How many strawberries in each group?
We have
18 strawberries, dividing into
groups of 3.
- Group 1: 🍓🍓🍓
- Group 2: 🍓🍓🍓
- Group 3: 🍓🍓🍓
- Group 4: 🍓🍓🍓
- Group 5: 🍓🍓🍓
- Group 6: 🍓🍓🍓
Total:
6 groups, each with
3 strawberries.
✔ Division sentence:
$$
18 \div 3 = 6
$$

✔ Final Answers:
1. $10 \div 2 = \boxed{5}$
2. $8 \div 4 = \boxed{2}$
3. $14 \div 7 = \boxed{2}$
4. $12 \div 4 = \boxed{3}$
5. $18 \div 3 = \boxed{6}$

🔍 Explanation:
In each case, we're using
equal grouping to understand division:
- We start with a total number of items.
- We split them into groups of a given size.
- The answer tells us
how many groups we can make (or how many items per group — depending on the question).
Here, all problems ask: *"How many [items] in each group?"* — so we're finding the
quotient when dividing total by group size.
This visual method helps build understanding of division as
sharing equally.
