ACTIVITY

What To Do?

To reinforce the concept of division by equal grouping

What We Need?
An empty egg tray and beads/buttons

How To Do?
 Work in pairs.
 Each pair will need an empty egg tray and about 50 beads/buttons.

 The teacher will write a simple division problem on the board, for example, 48 ÷ 4.
 Each pair will then count 48 beads/buttons and use 4 pockets of egg tray to divide

the beads/buttons equally. You may start by placing 1, 2, 3 or 4 beads/buttons in
each pocket at a time.
 The pair which fi nishes fi rst will be declared the winner.

Extension: The teacher may write more division problems on the board and ask the
children to solve them.
