Division Facts Within 100

How the lesson starts: Division Facts Within 100

  1. Lila's lemonade stand

    Hi there! Lila runs a lemonade stand. She has 20 lemons and 5 pitchers. Each pitcher needs the same number. How many lemons go in each? Division to the rescue!

  2. Division hides a times fact

    Let's share them. Each pitcher gets 4 lemons. So 20 ÷ 5 = 4. Here's the secret: every division hides a times fact. 5 times what makes 20? 5 × 4 = 20. So 20 ÷ 5 = 4!

  3. Let's find 45 ÷ 5

    What is 45 ÷ 5? The total, 45, comes first. Ask: 5 times what makes 45? Count by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45. That's 9 hops. 5 × 9 = 45, so 45 ÷ 5 = 9!
