Division by 9 splits a total into 9 equal groups.

Each group gets the same number.

Read it: Equal jumps for times and divide

6 × 4 = 24: 6 jumps of 4 from 0 land on 24: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24. And 24 ÷ 4 = 6: it takes 6 jumps of 4 to reach 24.

Start at 0.
Jump the same size each time.
For ×, count the jumps and read where you land. For ÷, count how many jumps reach the number.

Each jump is one group, so 6 jumps of 4 is 6 groups of 4.

Times and divide use the same jumps: 6 × 4 = 24 and 24 ÷ 4 = 6.

A line holds big facts that are too many to draw one by one.

Equal jumps from 0: the number of jumps times the size of a jump is where you land.

Counting the ticks instead of the jumps.

Count the jumps: from 0 to 24 is 6 jumps of 4.

81 ÷ 9 = ___ — 9. 9 jumps of 9 land on 81, so 81 ÷ 9 = 9.

18 ÷ 9

You have eighteen stickers to share equally among nine friends. How many stickers does each friend get?

Here's the trick: multiplication and division are partners. Every division fact is hiding inside a multiplication fact you already know.

Let's set up our problem: eighteen divided by nine.

Ask yourself: nine times what number equals eighteen?

Nine times two equals eighteen — that's the multiplication fact that unlocks our answer.

So the missing number is two. That's what goes on top of our division bracket.

Grade 3 · Worked example: 18 ÷ 9

Eighteen divided by nine equals two. Each friend gets two stickers. Whenever you divide by nine, just think about your nine times table!
