In this activity, we will be dividing by 3.
Example
Here are 9 lollipops.
3 lollipops fit into each bag.
How many bags can be filled with these lollipops?
Answer
Work out 9 divided by 3.
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 bags are needed.
If you know your times tables, these questions will be much easier! With the question above, if we knew that 3 x 3 = 9, then we could work out that 9 ÷ 3 = 3
All these questions will be testing our knowledge of our 3 times table. The purrr...fect number!
Let's have a go at some questions now.
