Hello and welcome! Today, we’re going to learn about division using some fun methods: grouping, sharing, and arrays. Let’s get started!
Imagine you have 24 wiggly eyes. How many three-eyed monsters can you make? Let’s find out using the grouping method. We need 3 eyes for each monster. So, we’ll make groups of 3 until we use up all the wiggly eyes.
Let’s count together! We have:
Now, we have no more wiggly eyes left. Let’s count the monsters: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. We made eight monsters! So, 24 divided by 3 equals 8. That was easy, right?
Now, let’s try another example. We have 21 pullback cars, and we want to share them equally into seven goodie bags. How many cars will go in each bag?
We’ll start by putting one car in each bag. Then, we’ll add another car to each bag. Finally, we’ll add one more car to each bag. Now, each bag has three cars, and we’ve used all 21 cars. So, 21 divided by 7 equals 3. Each goodie bag gets three cars!
Next, let’s use the array model with fairy fruit wands. We have 40 fairy fruit wands, and we want to arrange them in five rows. How many wands will be in each row?
We’ll place one wand in each row, then add another, and keep going until we use all the wands. Now, each row has eight wands. So, 40 divided by 5 equals 8. Each row has eight fairy fruit wands!
Let’s try one more with balloons! We have 36 balloons and want to put nine in each row. How many rows can we make?
We’ll put nine balloons in the first row, nine in the second, nine in the third, and nine in the fourth. We’ve used all 36 balloons. Let’s count the rows: one, two, three, four. So, 36 divided by 9 equals 4. We have four rows of balloons!
Now you know how to divide using grouping, sharing, and arrays! Try practicing these methods to get even better. Thanks for learning with us, and have fun dividing!

Hello and welcome to Tutoring Hour! In this video, I’ll show you how to visualize division using grouping, sharing, and array models. Let’s begin!
I have 24 Wiggly eyes. How many three-eyed monsters can I make? Let’s figure this out using the grouping method. We have 24 Wiggly eyes, and we need 3 eyes for each monster. This will be our group size. All we need to do is make groups of 3 until we run out of Wiggly eyes. We need to find out the number of groups.
Let’s start! I have one, two, and three Wiggly eyes for our first monster. Three for the second monster, three for the third, three for the fourth, three for the fifth, three for the sixth, three for the seventh, and three for the eighth. I have no more Wiggly eyes left. How many monsters did we make? Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. We have eight three-eyed monsters, or eight groups of three eyes. Our division equation will look like this: 24 divided by 3 equals 8. Twenty-four is our dividend, three is the divisor, and eight is the quotient. That was simple, wasn’t it?
Now, let’s move on. I have 21 pullback cars. I’ll share them equally and organize them into seven goodie bags. What is the total number of cars? Hmm, 21. How many goodie bags should we make? Seven. How many cars should we put in each goodie bag? This is what we need to find out. We’ll place our seven goodie bags like this. Let’s add one car to each until we run out of the pullback cars.
We have one car in each bag, and I still have some more cars. Now I’ll add one more car to each bag. There are two cars in each bag. I’ll add another car to each bag. There are no more cars left, and each bag has three cars, which means 21 divided by 7 is 3. So, I can put three pullback cars in each goodie bag.
Now, let’s move on from packing the goodie bags to making fairy fruit wands. I have 40 fairy fruit wands, and I want to arrange them on this tray in five rows. This time, we’ll use the array model to divide. How many fairy fruit wands do we have? 40. How many rows should we make? We should make five rows, which is the number of groups. We need to find out how many wands can be arranged in each row.
Let’s do that! We’ll place one wand in each row. We’ll add another one to each row. We’ll keep adding the wands until our bowl is empty. My bowl is empty now. How many fairy fruit wands are in each row? Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. We have eight fairy fruit wands in each row. Our division equation would look like this: 40 divided by 5 equals 8. Forty is the total number of shareable fairy wands, five is the number of rows (the divisor), and eight is the quotient (the number of fairy fruit wands in each row).
I’ll put the fairy fruit wands aside and start decorating. I’m going to cover up this wall with balloons. I have 36 balloons, and I want to put nine in each row. How many rows of balloons can I make? Let’s decode the problem. What is the total number of balloons? 36, which is our dividend. How many balloons do we need in each row? Nine, which is our divisor. What do we need to find out? The number of rows.
I’ll build my array first. Let me put nine balloons in each row until I finish up the 36 balloons: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine in the first row; nine in the second row; nine in the third row; and nine in the fourth row. Let’s count the number of rows: four. We have four rows with nine balloons each. Our division sentence would look like this: 36 divided by 9 equals 4.
I’ll go decorate the room with the balloons while you visit www.tutoringhour.com to put your newfound knowledge to the test. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to show us some love! Thanks for watching. Bye!
