Division on a number line
Mick is going to be busy this week. He’s got 30 performances booked…
But a pair of dancing trousers only last for 5 performances.
How many trousers is Mick going to need, Suki?
To divide using the line method you can count how many jumps of five you need to take along the number line until you reach 30.
Hey that’s it. Mick needs 6 pairs of dancing trousers.
Better make that 7 pairs of trousers, Suki!
Description
