It's Party Time

In this book Millie the Mathematician helps us to understand and represent division. By sorting out party bags and sharing food at Claire’s birthday party, Millie helps us learn that division can be represented by grouping objects into equal sets. By sharing objects between groups, one at a time, we can sort objects into groups of equal numbers. The concept of objects being left over (i.e. “remainders”) during this process is also addressed. This book addresses content from the Number and Algebra strand within the Number and place value sub-strand.  The specific Australian Curriculum content descriptor addressed is: “Recognise and represent division as grouping into equal sets and solve simple problems using these representations.”
