Division by Skip Counting - Problem to Long Division Expression

Level 4

This math topic focuses on exercising division by skip counting skills where learners convert word problems to long division expressions. Problems require determining the number of items (like cows and chairs) that would account for a specified number of legs by dividing the total number of legs by the number of legs per item. It involves division of integers and is structured to help in visualizing and solving division problems methodically using pictures and hints before writing the expressions using long division format. This could be helpful in building fundamental division skills and understanding the practical application of division in real-life scenarios.
