  • Connect division facts to multiplication facts.
  • Use fact families to solve related facts.
  • Solve simple division word problems.

Lessons

Parent guide

Work through the lessons in order with counters, sketches, or small real objects. Ask the child to explain the groups first, then the fact family, then the story problem. Keep the work visual so division stays tied to sharing and grouping.

Completion

A student finishes this course when they can share objects into equal groups, explain a related multiplication fact, and solve a simple division word problem.
