Divide into Equal Shares
Aligned to 3.OA.A.2 — Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
What this lesson teaches
Division splits a total into equal groups. The answer can tell how many are in each group, or how many groups there are.
Worked example
You have 12 marbles and 3 friends. Share them equally: give one to each friend, again and again. Each friend gets 4. So 12 ÷ 3 = 4 marbles each.
Practice questions
- Share 15 cookies among 5 kids. How many does each get?
- Solve 18 ÷ 2.
- You have 20 crayons in bags of 4. How many bags?

Dividir en Partes Iguales
La división separa un total en grupos iguales. La respuesta puede decir cuántos hay en cada grupo, o cuántos grupos hay.
Ejemplo: Tienes 12 canicas y 3 amigos. Repártelas por igual: da una a cada amigo, una y otra vez. Cada amigo recibe 4. Entonces 12 ÷ 3 = 4 canicas cada uno.
