Introduction 
Ask pupils:
“If we have 10 sweets and 2 children, how can we share them fairly?”
Let pupils suggest ideas.
Explain:
“When we share things equally, we are doing division.”
 

Step 2: Grouping Activity
Give another set: 15 objects.
Ask pupils to divide into 5 equal groups.
Let them work in pairs.
Ask:
“How many in each group?”
“Was it fair sharing?”
 

Step 3: Board Explanation
Write simple examples:
10 ÷ 2 = 5
8 ÷ 4 = 2
Explain:
Division means splitting into equal groups.
 

Guided Practice
Solve together:
6 ÷ 2 = ?
9 ÷ 3 = ?
12 ÷ 4 = ?
Call pupils to the board to try answers.
 

Independent Practice
Ask pupils to solve:
10 ÷ 5
14 ÷ 2
16 ÷ 4
 

 Evaluation (Assessment)
Oral or written questions:
1. What is division?
2. Solve: 8 ÷ 2 = ?
3. If 12 mangoes are shared among 3 children, how many each?
 

Summary
