The Doorbell Rang

Today we are working more on division. This means sharing between. Watch the video of the book, The Doorbell rang.

We are then going to solve some division problems from the book.

Your Learning Intention today is for mathematicians for be able to solve division problems.

To be successful, you must:

• Work out how many cookies there are to start with.
• Work out how many groups you must share them into.
• Show how you worked it out.
