For 18 ÷ 3, share eighteen counters among three equal groups: each gets six. You can also ask which number multiplied by 3 gives 18.
For 18 ÷ 3, share eighteen counters among three equal groups: each gets six. You can also ask which number multiplied by 3 gives 18. The answer, 6, connects division with a times-table fact.
Start with exact divisions and familiar divisors. Do not place all counters in one group; groups must be equal. Write 3 × 6 = 18 to verify that none are missing or left over.
Work through one example aloud before independent practice. To check 18 + 7 = 25, calculate 25 − 7. If a word problem asks about meters or coins, include that unit and check whether the answer fits the situation.
