Divide by 2 and 5

Skip counting method can be used to find division

To divide by 5 using skip counting, skip count backwards by 5 until you reach 0

For example, to divide 25 by 5, start at 25 and skip count backwards by 5 until you reach 0. The number of jumps represents 25 ÷ 5

To divide by 2 using skip counting, skip count backwards by 2 until you reach 0

For example, to divide 8 by 2, start at 8 and skip count backwards by 2 until you reach 0. The number of jumps represents 8 ÷ 2

A related multiplication sentence: Number of groups x Number in each group (N) = Total number

For example: 2 x 3 = 6

Division sentence: Total number ÷ Number of groups = Number in each group (N)

For example: 6 ÷ 2 = 3

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. Using multiplication facts can help you with division facts
