Division is the inverse of multiplication.
Thus: 5 × 3 = 1515 ÷ 3 = 5 en15 ÷ 5 = 3
When I want to check a division sum, I multiply. When I check a multiplication sum, I divide
Activity 2:
To recognise, describe and use the reciprocal relation between multiplication and
division
[LO 1.12.1]
1. Now use your knowledge of the "inverse" to complete the following:
1.1 If 26 × 17 = 442, then 442 ÷ 17 = ................ and 442 ÷ ................ = 17
If 24 × 30 = 720, then 720 ÷ ................ = 24 and 720 ÷ 24 = ................
DID YOU ALSO KNOW?
When we divide, we do the following:
REPEATED SUBTRACTION
12 ÷ 3 = 12 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 = 4
GROUPING
12 ÷ 3: We must divide 12 into 3 equal groups
DIVISION
12 ÷ 3: We must divide 12 equally between 3

Activity 3:
To recognise and represent numbers and to describe and compare them [LO 1.3]
1. Let us do revision. Do you remember what happens when we divide any number by 1? Work
with a friend and find the answers to the following:
1.1 5 ÷ 1 = .................................. 1.2 86 ÷ 1 = ............................
1.3 359 ÷ 1 = .............................. 1.4 4 625 ÷ 1 = .......................
1.5 32 174 ÷ 1 = .........................
2. Write down a rule for dividing by 1.
BRAIN-TEASER!
If 5 ÷ 1 = 5 and 86 ÷ 1 = 86, then:
1 ÷ 5 = .........................
1 ÷ 86 = .........................
1 ÷ 359 = .........................
1 ÷ 4 625 = .........................
Thus, if 1 is the dividend, then the answer is always a...........................................
3. Now let us see what happens when we divide any number by 0. Work with a friend once more
and do the following with the aid of your calculator:
3.1 6 ÷ 0 = ................................... 3.2 38 ÷ 0 = ..............................
3.3 438 ÷ 0 = ............................... 3.4 1 679 ÷ 0 = .........................
63 827 ÷ 0 = .........................
4. Why does the calculator give these answers?
DO YOU STILL REMEMBER?
Division by 0 is not allowed. We say it is undefined.

Activity 6:
To calculate by using selected computations [LO 1.8.4]
1. You have now discovered rules for division by 10, 100 and 1 000. Now let us look at division by multiples of 10 and 100. Work through the following calculations with a friend:
Table 2.24.
1.1 180 ÷ 20 = (180 ÷ 10) ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ 2 = 9
1.2 4 200 ÷ 60 = (4 200 ÷ 10) ÷ 6 = 420 ÷ 6 = 70
1.3 3 600 ÷ 400 = (3 600 ÷ 100) ÷ 4 = 36 ÷ 4 1.4 54 000 ÷ 900 = (54 000 ÷ 100) ÷ 9 = 540 ÷ 9
= 9
= 60
2. Complete the following on your own:
2.1 1 380 ÷ 60 = (1 380 ÷ 10) ÷ ..................
= .................. ÷ ..................
= ..................
2.2 32 840 ÷ 40 = (32 840 ÷ ..................) ÷ ..................

2.3 15 500 ÷ 500 = (15 500 ÷ 100) ÷ ..................

2.4 312 300 ÷ 300 = (312 300 ÷ ..................) ÷ ..................
= ......................... ÷ ..................
= ..................
DID YOU KNOW?
We can also break up the divisor into factors:
E.g. 108 ÷ 12 = 108 ÷ 4 ÷ 3 = 27 ÷ 3 = 9
OR
108 ÷ 12 = 108 ÷ 2 ÷ 6 = 54 ÷ 6 = 9
3. Calculate the following by breaking up the divisor into factors:
3.1 105 ÷ 21 = ...................................... 3.2 216 ÷ 24 = ......................................
= ...................................... = ......................................
= ...................................... = ......................................
3.3 432 ÷ 24 = ...................................... 3.4 126 ÷ 14 = ......................................
= ...................................... = ......................................
= ...................................... = ......................................
4. Work together with a friend. Look carefully at the following and then explain it to two other friends.
4.1 184 ÷ 4 = (180 + 4) ÷ 4
= (180 ÷ 4) + (4 ÷ 4)
= 45 + 1
= 46
4.2 2 515 ÷ 5 = (2 000 + 500 + 15) ÷ 5
= (2 000 ÷ 5) + (500 ÷ 5) + (15 ÷ 5)
= 400 + 100 + 3
= 503
4.3 3 672 ÷ 12 = (3 600 ÷ 12) + (72 ÷ 12)
= 300 + 6
= 306
5. Complete the following:
5.1 3 045 ÷ 15 = (3 000 + ....................) ÷ 15
= (.................... ÷ 15) + (.................... ÷ 15)
= 200 + ....................
= ....................
5.2 2 575 ÷ 25 = (2 000 + .................... + ....................) ÷ 25
= (2 000 ÷ 25) + (.................... ÷ .............) + (............. ÷ ............)
= .................... + .................... + ....................
= ....................

Activity 9:
To be able to solve problems in context [LO 1.6.1]
The following activity is a group project that you can add to your portfolio. Your educator will provide you with the necessary paper and will explain exactly what you are expected to do.
Divide into groups of four or five and then read the assignment closely.
Your group must visit at least three florists or flower vendors in your area. Your job is to
determine which florist or vendor is the cheapest.
Remember to use the following as guidelines:
1. Look only at mixed bouquets.
2. Consider the number of flowers in every bunch.
3. State in your report which of the vendors or florists is the cheapest and motivate your answer.
Remember to show all your calculations.
4. Work neatly and hand in your project on time.
Activity 10:
To solve problems in context [LO 1.6]
1. Divide into groups of three. Ask your educator for the necessary paper and solve the following problems without the use of a calculator:
2 924 spectators have to be transported by bus to a soccer stadium. If every bus can seat 68
passengers, how many buses are needed to take everybody to the stadium?
55 educators were taken by taxi to the same stadium. If they had to pay R2 475 in total for the trip, how much money did each educator have to pay the driver?

A group of rugby players decided to support their soccer-playing friends. If there were 2 010
rugby players in total, how many rugby teams attended the soccer matches? (There are 15
players in a rugby team).
2. Check your answers with a calculator.
3. Compare your solutions to those of the other groups in class.
4. Discuss the differences and / or similarities between the different methods used.
Activity 11:
To determine the equivalence and validity of different representations of the
same problem by means of comparison and discussion [LO 2.6]
In the previous activity you used your own strategies and methods to solve the problems. In the next activity the answers have already been calculated. Work with a friend and explain to each
other the different solutions to the problem:
There are 7 310 books in the school library. The librarian wants to put 34 books on each shelf.
How many shelves does she need?
1. I calculate my answer by doing repeated subtraction.
I know 34 × 100 = 3 400.
Thus: 7 310
- 3 400 (100)
3 910
- 3 400 (100)
510
- 340 (10)
170
- 170 (5)
- - -
The answer is thus 100 + 100 + 10 + 5 = 215
2. I must calculate 7 310 ÷ 34. I do this by multiplication.
34 × 100 = 3 400, so 34 × 200 = 6 800
7 310 – 6 800 = 510
34 × 10 = 340
510 – 340 = 170
34 × 5 = 170
170 – 170 = 0
The quotient is thus 200 + 10 + 5 = 215
1. 7 310 = 3 400 + 3 400 + 340 + 170
Thus: (3 400 ÷ 34) + (3 400 ÷ 34) + (340 ÷ 34) + (170 ÷ 34)
= 100 + 100 + 10 + 5
= 215
6. Can you think of another method to calculate 7 310 ÷ 34?
7 Explain the method used at no. 5 to your class. (Imagine YOU are the teacher!)
8. Which of the above methods do you prefer?
Why?
Activity 12:
To calculate by using selected computations [LO 1.8.5]
1. You have now looked at a variety of methods that we can use for division. Now let us
concentrate on only one of them. Find the quotient of the following by using the method as
