Understanding the process of division can be quite a tricky challenge for some children. They may be initially introduced to the idea of 'sharing' equally before they are shown how to use mental methods to solve problems. This starts when they begin to understand the division facts related to the multiplication facts they are learning (for example, if they know that 2 x 5 = 10, than they could recognize that 10 รท 5 = 2). They will learn that division is, in fact, the same as repeated subtraction and also understand that whilst the multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order (commutative), the division of one number by another cannot.
