Take a look at these pictures.
Can you count the dogs?
There are 8 dogs.
Now let's count the rows.
There are 4 rows.
We want to find out what is 8 shared between 4.
We write this as 8 ÷ 4.
To work out the answer, we count the number of dogs in each row.
There are 2 dogs in each row.
So we say that 8 divided by 4 is 2.
8 ÷ 4 = 2
Does that make sense?
Let's try some questions now.
