Task description: This week during Maths, we had to collaborate to solve mathematical problems and puzzles. We were also learning to share my ideas with others, listen and accept suggestions from my peers, and use correct mathematical language. After that I completed the task, and I posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.

Delicious Division

We are learning to solve division equations using our knowledge of multiplication.

Multiplication practice:

56 ➗ 8 = 7             72 ➗ 9 = 8                44 ➗ 11 = 4

45 ➗ 9 = 5              64 ➗ 8 = 8                56 ➗ 7 = 8 

35 ➗ 5 = 7             144 ➗ 12 = 12           27 ➗ 3 = 8

Justus has 175 chocolates. He would like to share them between 5 friends. How many chocolates will they get each? Each of them will get 35 chocolates each because 175/5 = 35

Cooking club has made 231 cookies that will be shared between 7 students. How many cookies will each student receive? Each of them will get 33 cookies each because 231/7 = 33

Amelia has made 240 mini pineapple pies. She is sharing them between 12 friends. How many pies will each friend receive? Each of them will get 20 cookies each because 240/12 = 20

Tamati has 42324 fidget spinners to share between 12 friends. How many will they receive each? Each of them will get 3527 fidget spinners each because 42324/12 = 3527

Mrs Vaafusuaga has ordered 81 tennis balls. They are in cans of 3 balls. How many cans should there be? There should be 27 cans of tennis balls because 81/3 = 27

Atareita has 891 lollies. She would like to make 9 lolly leis. How many lollies can you use to make each lei? Each of them will get 99 lollies in their lolly leis because 891/9 = 99
