The opposite of adding is subtracting.
The opposite of subtracting is adding.
The opposite of multiplying is dividing.
The opposite of dividing is multiplying.
This week we are learning about and revisiting DIVISION.
Division is the opposite of multiplication.
Example: If 3 x 2 = 6, what is 6 ÷ by 2? ANSWER: = 3
Example: If 5 x 2 = 10, what is 10 ÷ by 2? ANSWER: = 5
We will be focusing on division by 2.
Hopefully you know your 2 x table by now lovely childen!
At SWB we have a cunning method to help us do division calculations as follows:
EXAMPLE: 12 ÷2 = 6
Write down the 2 x table until you reach 12
2 4 6 8 10 12
Now count how many numbers there are until you reach 12
The answer is 6
EXAMPLE 2: 20 ÷2 = 10
Write down the 2 x table until you reach 20
2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20
Now count how many numbers there are until you reach 20
The answer is 10
USING THE SWB METHOD ABOVE, PLEASE WORK OUT THE FOLLOWING CALCULATIONS ON A PIECE OF PAPER AT HOME.
Send me your answers and your workings out with your name on it please to shareyear1.2@swbschool.net .
8 ÷ 2 =
16 ÷ 2 =
24 ÷ 2 =
20 ÷ 2 =
30 ÷ 2 =
12 ÷ 2 =
10 ÷ 2 =
14 ÷ 2 =
