Let's solve each division problem by
breaking the set of objects into equal groups, just like the example shows.
---
🔹 Example:
18 ÷ 3 = 6
There are 18 jellyfish, and they are grouped into
3 equal groups, with
6 jellyfish in each group.
So, 18 ÷ 3 = 6.
We'll use the same method for each problem.

a. 20 ÷ 4 = ?
There are
20 stars.
We need to divide them into
4 equal groups.
Let’s count how many stars are in each group:
- Total stars: 20
- Number of groups: 4
- Stars per group = 20 ÷ 4 =
5
✔ So,
20 ÷ 4 = 5
> You can draw or imagine 4 groups with 5 stars each.
---
b. 16 ÷ 2 = ?
There are
16 circles (or dots) arranged in two rows.
We need to divide them into
2 equal groups.
- Total: 16
- Groups: 2
- Each group has: 16 ÷ 2 =
8
✔ So,
16 ÷ 2 = 8
> Each group will have 8 objects.
---
c. 24 ÷ 8 = ?
There are
24 boxes (like cubes).
We need to divide them into
8 equal groups.
- Total: 24
- Groups: 8
- Each group has: 24 ÷ 8 =
3
✔ So,
24 ÷ 8 = 3
> You can make 8 groups with 3 boxes each.
---
d. 25 ÷ 5 = ?
There are
25 black circles.
We need to divide them into
5 equal groups.
- Total: 25
- Groups: 5
- Each group has: 25 ÷ 5 =
5
✔ So,
25 ÷ 5 = 5
> Each group has 5 circles.
---
e. 27 ÷ 9 = ?
There are
27 triangles.
We need to divide them into
9 equal groups.
- Total: 27
- Groups: 9
- Each group has: 27 ÷ 9 =
3
✔ So,
27 ÷ 9 = 3
> Each group has 3 triangles.
---
✔ Final Answers:
a.
20 ÷ 4 = 5
b.
16 ÷ 2 = 8
c.
24 ÷ 8 = 3
d.
25 ÷ 5 = 5
e.
27 ÷ 9 = 3

📝 Explanation:
Division means splitting a total number of items into equal groups. The answer tells you
how many items are in each group when you split equally.
This visual method helps understand that division is the opposite of multiplication — for example, if 4 × 5 = 20, then 20 ÷ 4 = 5.
Let me know if you'd like a visual breakdown of any one!
