LP 3 – Division as repeated subtraction.

               Learning objective: Students will be able to use subtraction and multiplication
               facts to divide a 2 or 3-digit number by a 1-digit number without borrowing.


                 Repeated subtraction is a method of subtracting the equal number of items
                   from a larger group. It is also known as division.
                 If the same number is repeatedly subtracted from another larger number

                   until the remainder is zero or a number smaller than the number being
                   subtracted, we can write that in the form of division.


               For example: If there are 25 balls and we form a group of 5 balls each.























                 Here, the number 5 has been repeatedly subtracted 5 times. We can say
                   that the number 5 has been subtracted 5 times from 25. So, we can write

                   this subtraction as 25 ÷ 5 = 5.
