Division
A child is ready to learn division once they have started Multiplication and understand sharing things out fairly.
See Activities:
Is My Child Ready For This Activity?
Children already know about sharing fairly. This activity connects that idea to the ÷ sign, and every problem shares out exactly, with nothing left over.
Levels & Progress
This activity has 5 levels that progress through increasingly larger numbers:
| Level | Problems | Answer Options |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sharing between 2 | 2 options |
| 2 | Sharing between 2 or 3 | 3 options |
| 3 | Sharing between up to 5 | 4 options |
| 4 | Up to 100 ÷ 10 | 5 options |
| 5 | Up to 144 ÷ 12 | 5 options |
As your child advances, they'll work with larger numbers and more answer choices to pick from.
Gameplay Experience
-
See the Problem: Two numbers appear with a division sign between them (e.g.,
6 ÷ 2 = ?) - Hear the Problem: The activity reads aloud "6 divided by 2 equals?"
- Share by Tapping: A pile of blue dots sits beside one box for each group. Each tap deals one dot to every group, one after the other, while the activity says "Each gets 1", then "Each gets 2", until the pile is gone. The number above each box shows how many it has. Untick Animate each Dot to deal a whole round at once.
- Pick the Answer: Tap the correct answer from the options at the bottom
-
Celebrate or Retry:
- ✅ Correct: The picture finishes itself, with confetti, a cheerful sound, and spoken confirmation ("3 is correct!")
- ❌ Incorrect: A gentle buzz and vibration—try again!
Tip: Tap on the equation at any time to hear the problem again.
Learning Objectives
- Division: Understanding it as sharing into equal groups
- Fairness: Every group gets the same amount, each time
- Link to Multiplication: Groups of equal size, seen from the other side
- Counting: Checking how many are in one group
- Number Recognition: Identifying written numerals
Progress Tracking
Each activity session is tracked with:
- The problem presented (operands and expected answer)
- The answer your child selected
- Whether they got it correct
- Number of attempts before moving on
This data helps identify patterns and areas where your child might need more practice.
Sound On?
Yes, sound is recommended! This activity uses:
- Voice narration to read each problem aloud
- Spoken feedback as your child taps through the picture
- Audio feedback for correct and incorrect answers
Children can play without sound, but they'll miss the auditory reinforcement that helps cement learning. The activity can also be controlled via keyboard (number keys to select answers, Space to repeat the problem).
