Division is very simple don't worry. division is the opposite of multiplication. if i wanted to share 12 cookies with 6 people, i would want to share it evenly. 12 divided 6 = 2 cookies per person
now back to division being the opposite of multiplying. note how 12 divided by 6 = 2, right? well, read that backwards. 2 x 6 = 12. it isn't a coincidence! now, let's try something different. i have 8 cookies. i want to split them evenly with a friend. how many do we each get? 8 divided by 2 answer below
