fun but first we want to hear from you
ten year old Sienna from Las Vegas
watched our pronoun video and said I
love the video on pronouns thank you so
much you are very welcome we're so glad
you enjoyed it mrs. Gutierrez his second
grade class from Riverside California
watched our fractions video and said
thank you for helping us with fractions
not a problem
aren't fractions awesome and finally
six-year-old Brent from Ohio had a joke
for us and said why couldn't the farmer
sleep because the cows were saying oh
yeah that would keep you up that was so
cool be sure and watch this video to the
end to learn how you two could be
featured on one of our videos well as we
mentioned earlier today we are going to
learn about division division is such an
awesome thing to be able to do and
you're gonna have it all figured out
you're gonna learn how to divide in this
video and we're gonna start off with a
story there's this kid named Ethan and
Ethan loves carrots he loves carrots so
much he loves to snack on him he loves
when he gets to eat them their crunchy
their tasty yeah carrots are awesome in
fact I'm literally eating a carrot right
now as I'm speaking carrots are great
for your skin
carrots are great for your eyes are
amazing your great snack and Ethan loves
them
well Ethan has two friends over Kevin
and Chloe and they start to get hungry
of course they all love carrots because
carrots are like the perfect snack now
in Ethan's house there are only three
carrots they're just three carrots we
are going to have to divide the three
carrots amongst the three kids so let's
figure this out how many carrots does
each kid get do you know ah huh each kid
gets one carrot pretty simple right
three carrots three kids each kid gets
one carrot hey did you know we just did
division aha we just did division
division is pretty simple you see
division is splitting a number up by any
given number that's it just splitting a
number up let's look at our story again
there were three carrots and we divided
those three carrots by 3 because there
are three people right the three kids
that love carrots and the answer of how
many carrots each kid gets is 1 3
divided by 3 equals 1 notice right here
is the division sign this is what it
looks like when you see that sign you
could just save divided by so this reads
3 divided by 3 equals 1 let's try
another example of division let's say
there are 8 presence a presence and
there are 4 women and we want each of
the women to get the same amount of
presence as the other women because we
want it to be fair
notice the division sign we are going to
divide or split up eight by four
remember to divide us to split up let's
split these presents up into four equal
groups one two three four all right how
many presents does each woman get ah huh
two each woman gets two presents isn't
that cool
division is so much fun and it's so easy
remember division is splitting a number
up by any given number that's it all
right now it's time for division facts
we're going to learn some pretty
interesting facts about division and
you're gonna be like oh like secrets
this is super cool okay so just look
around all right make sure it's clear
aren't you it's time for division facts
[Music]
the first fact is this
you can never divide by zero
it's true you can never divide by zero
even if you're a rule-breaker and you're
like I'm gonna do whatever I like
you still can never divide by zero
in fact if a teacher ever gives you a
test and you see a problem where you
have to divide a number by zero just
right on the test undefined because
that's exactly what that answer would be
undefined it's impossible kind of like
mr. whiskers math skills doesn't mr.
whiskers do math in his head all day
long who knows his math skills are
undefined we just don't know it's
impossible to know you know mr. whiskers
might know how to do division who knows
undefined you can't divide by zero you
can never divide by zero
if you ever see any division problem
dividing by zero just right undefined
it's impossible it's impossible so just
write undefined the second fact is this
you can write the division sign three
ways uh-huh
not just with that traditional division
sign you can write it like the division
sign or you can write a division problem
with the slash or with a horizontal line
[Music]
for example look at this 12 divided by 3
equals 4 that's the original division
sign the one that you might see more
regularly but here is the same equation
written in a different way 12 divided by
3 equals 4 it's still a division sign
but it's a slash it means the same thing
as the original division sign remember
the division sign can also be a
horizontal line 12 divided by 3 equals 4
that looks like a fraction doesn't it
the line in a fraction means divided by
these are the three ways that you can
write the division sign pretty
interesting all right
the final fact is this
okay this is so awesome
you can flip the number of groups and
the number in each group and the
division problem stays true for example
ten divided by two equals five and you
can flip the two and the five and it
stays true that means ten divided by
five equals 2 in that interesting
10 divided by 2 equals 5 and 10 divided
by 5 equals 2 you can flip the number of
groups and the number in each group and
it still stays true or look at this 18
divided by 6 equals 3 remember we can
flip the number of groups and the number
in each group and it still stays true so
we could switch the 6 and the 3 and it
stays true so 18 divided by 3 equals 6
the 6 and the 3 can be flipped so 18
divided by 6 equals 3 and 18 divided by
3 equals 6 pretty nifty
those were some cool facts you know
division is a great time division is
splitting a number up by any given
number it's a lot of fun and we hope you
learned a whole lot in this video
