In this activity, we will be dividing by 2.

Example

Here are 6 pencils.

2 pencils fit into each pencil box.

How many pencil boxes can be filled with these pencils?

Answer

We have to share 6 pencils into boxes that can hold only 2 pencils.

6 ÷ 2 = 3

3 pencil boxes are needed.

Does that make sense? Let's have a go at some questions now.
