Year 4 Math: Unit 3. Division word problems- Study Notes , Worksheets and Online Tests

Here is an example word problem for Year 4 math:

There are 24 pencils in a box. If 4 children share the pencils equally, how many pencils will each child get?

To solve this problem, you can use division. The number of pencils each child gets is the total number of pencils divided by the number of children.

Therefore, we can write the equation: pencils per child = total pencils ÷ number of children

Plugging in the given values: pencils per child = 24 ÷ 4

The quotient is 6, so each child will get 6 pencils.
