Division Song

Yeah, I was practicing my aim
Before the basketball game
With three groups of two basketballs
Six basketballs in all
Took two shots, got nothing but net
Then two more, and two more, yet
Now zero balls on left, that's the difference
And we can show this as a division sentence
Six has how many groups of two basketballs
We see three equal groups in all
So we call the three groups the quotient
Two the divisor, and then six the dividend
Yeah, yeah

The number divided is the dividend
The divisor divides
So that in the end
We find the number of groups
That's the quotient
We can think of division as repeated subtraction

We can think of six divided by two
As repeatedly subtracting groups of two from six
Until there are none left over
Let's go
I was practicing my aim before the soccer game
Four groups of three soccer balls
Twelve soccer balls in all

I got the first group of three in the net
Then again, and again, and again, it was a perfect set
Now zero balls are left, that's the difference
And we can show this as a division sentence

Twelve has how many groups of three soccer balls
We see four equal groups in all
So we call four groups the quotient, three the divisor
And then twelve the dividend

The number divided is the dividend
The divisor divides
So that in the end
We find the number of groups
That's the quotient
We can think of division as repeated subtraction

There are two types of problems when we divide
We're either finding the number of groups or the group size
If we look at the basketballs we can find three groups of two
Or we could find two balls in three groups, which is equally true

The number divided is the dividend
The divisor divides
So that in the end
We find the number of groups
That's the quotient
We can think of division as repeated subtraction
