Question 1:

Which division sentence does this show?

There are two circles, each with 6 purple dots (3 rows of 2 dots). So total dots = 6 + 6 = 12.

We're dividing 12 into 2 equal groups → 12 ÷ 2 = 6.

So, the correct answer is:

> ✔ B. 12 ÷ 2 = 6

Explanation: The image shows 12 items divided equally into 2 groups, so it represents division: 12 ÷ 2 = 6.

Question 2:

72 children were equally divided in 8 groups by the teacher. How many children are there in each group?

We divide total children by number of groups:

> 72 ÷ 8 = 9

✔ Answer: B. 9

Explanation: Dividing 72 by 8 gives 9 children per group.

Question 3:

Which DIVISION equation matches this array?

The array has:
- 5 rows
- Each row has 4 triangles
→ Total = 5 × 4 = 20 triangles

This can be represented as division:
If we have 20 items grouped into 5 rows → 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Or grouped into 4 columns → 20 ÷ 4 = 5

But the question asks for a division equation that matches the array.

Looking at the options:

A. 20 ÷ 5 = 4 → This means 20 divided into 5 groups → 4 in each → matches 5 rows of 4
B. 20 ÷ 4 = 5 → 20 divided into 4 groups → 5 in each → not matching
C. 4 × 5 = 20 → Multiplication, not division
D. 5 ÷ 20 = 4 → Incorrect

So the best match is:

✔ A. 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Explanation: The array has 5 rows of 4 triangles → total 20. So dividing 20 into 5 equal rows gives 4 per row → 20 ÷ 5 = 4.

Question 4:

What is the answer to a division problem called?

In division:
- Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient

So the result is called the quotient.

✔ Answer: B. the quotient

Explanation: For example, in 12 ÷ 3 = 4, 4 is the quotient.

Question 5:

25 ÷ 5 = ?

25 divided by 5 is:

> 25 ÷ 5 = 5

✔ Answer: B. 5

Explanation: 5 × 5 = 25, so 25 ÷ 5 = 5.

✔ Final Answers:

1. B
2. B
3. A
