I had a great week at school! In math we worked on division because a lot of people do not know how to do division. Did you know that division backwards is multiplication? So if you know your multiplication facts, you will know division. (Just like adding and subtracting are opposites too.) Here's how multiplication and division are opposites. Two divided by two equals one. Also, one times two equals two. See, they are opposites. When you are writing a division problem it has to be equal groups because if it is not equal groups it can not be division. Here's how I remember division. I have 25 cookies and 5 friends. How many cookies does each friend get? The problem would be twenty-five divided by five equals five.
