  we can show repeated subtraction by counting backward in equal jumps.

              Example- 10 ÷ 2

                     We first take a big jump to the bigger number ie 10. It means the total
                       number of objects that need to be distributed is 10.

                     After reaching the bigger number, we need to move back by taking equal
                       number of jumps.

                     Here in this example 2 is mentioned which means 2 is the number of
                       objects in each group .
                     We need to move back continuously by taking 2 steps each time untill
                       we reach 0.

                     Once we reach on 0 it means the total no of objects have been equally
                       distributed.
                     Now we need to count the number of jumps we took to reach  0, the

                       number of jumps taken to reach 0 is the answer.
                     Here we have taken 5 jumps which means we got 5 number of groups
                       after distributing 10 objects and in each group there are 2 objects.








            10÷2=5

        Learning Outcome: The students are able to show repeated subtraction on
        number line.
