8 ÷ 2
How many groups of two fit inside eight?
Here's our problem: eight divided by two.
Every division fact has a multiplication fact hiding inside it.
So let's think: two times what number makes eight?
Picture eight things split into groups of two.
One group, two groups, three groups, four groups — four groups of two in all.
Two times four equals eight.
So eight divided by two equals four.
Eight divided by two is four. Whenever you divide by two, ask: two times what makes this number?
