Basic Division Lesson 7: Number 7

Here's an easy example:

divided by equals

We start with fourteen boxes. We divide these fourteen boxes by seven. This means: how many groups of seven can we make with the fourteen boxes that we have? Answer: 2.

Here's another example:

divided equals

We start with fifty-six boxes. We divide these fifty-six boxes by seven. This means: how many groups of seven can we make with the fifty-six boxes that we have? Answer: 8.

EX21TextBox1 EX21TextBox2 EX21TextBox3 EX21TextBox4 EX21TextBox5 EX21TextBox6 EX21TextBox7 EX21TextBox8

Try this problem.

divided equals

We start with eighty-four boxes. We divide these eighty-four boxes by seven. This means: how many groups of seven can we make with the eighty-four boxes that we have? Answer: 12.
