Learn the idea

Sharing asks how many each group gets. Grouping asks how many groups can be made. Both can use division.

Worked example

Share 12 counters between 3 children: each gets 4. Put 12 counters in groups of 3: you make 4 groups.

  1. In both calculations 12 ÷ 3 = 4, but 4 answers a different question.
  2. Check division with multiplication: 3 × 4 = 12.
