Why Divide?

Suppose you know a total number of items. You also know the number of groups you want to equally put them into. You can divide to find how many items will be in each group.

Three friends bought a pizza. The pizza had six slices. If three friends shared the pizza equally, how many slices did each friend eat?

Six slices of pizza, divided equally among three friends, gave each friend two slices.

Six divided by three is two.

Suppose you know the total number of items, and how many are in each group. You can divide to find the number of groups.

You have ten bees. You want to divide them into groups of two bees. How many groups can you make?
