Dividing a number equally means splitting it into groups of the same size. The YouTube video "Division Strategy - Equal Groups" illustrates this concept by demonstrating how to form equal groups from a larger quantity.
Here's a breakdown of how to divide a number equally, based on the reference:
-
Form Equal Groups: The core idea is to create groups, ensuring each group contains the same number of items or units. For example, you might have a total of 21 items and want to divide them into 3 equal groups. This would mean each group should contain 7 items (as seen in the video excerpt forming groups of 7).
-
Distribution: Distribute the number one by one into groups, as shown in the reference that these can go into a group until the number becomes zero.
