Refer to Math Workbook 2A Part 1 page 90. Working was presented wrongly in this example. They do not need to do the long division method. At their level, they need to understand the division concept and show the division statement correctly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When we are solving word problems on Division, the question will either ask for the "number of groups" or "the number of items in each group". Let's take a look at an example of how the division statements for 15÷3=5 and 15÷5=3 will take on different word problems.
1) There are 15 peanuts.
Max puts the peanuts equally onto 3 plates.
How many peanuts are there on each plate? [Number of items in each group]
2) There are 15 peanuts.
Max puts them equally onto some plates.
There are 5 peanuts on each plate.
How many plates are there? [Number of groups]

Number of groups & the number of items in each group
