Helping at home
In 3rd grade, children learn that division is the other side of multiplication. 35 ÷ 5 asks, "What times 5 makes 35?" Because they know 7 × 5 = 35, they know 35 ÷ 5 = 7. Dividing by 2, 5 and 10 comes first, because those times tables are the easiest.
The usual slip is mixing up which number is being divided, or answering with a multiplication, like 35 ÷ 5 = 175. Another is counting by 5s and losing track of how many jumps were made.
One way to help at home: turn each division into a multiplication question. "30 ÷ 10: 10 times what is 30?" Counting by 5s and 10s on fingers, one finger per jump, shows the answer as the number of fingers. Once the 2s, 5s and 10s feel quick, the 3s, 4s and 6s are next.
