Division by Subtracting Equal Groups

This video tutorial teaches how to solve division problems by subtracting equal groups. It begins with an introduction to the concept, explaining that division is the inverse of multiplication and can be represented as repeated subtraction. The tutorial uses examples, such as dividing 20 by 4 and 24 by 6, to illustrate the process. It also highlights common mistakes, like incorrect subtraction, and offers alternative strategies for dividing by subtraction. The lesson concludes with a practical application, solving a problem of distributing balloons to children, reinforcing the concept of division as repeated subtraction.

How many times can you subtract 6 from 24 before reaching 0?

If you have 15 balloons and want to give 3 to each child, how many children can you give balloons to?
