Common misconception
Children misunderstanding the difference between partitive and quotative division when discussing the problems.
Although they will result in the correct answers, the calculation itself will not accurately reflect the problem. Ensure children initially describe each problem and represent it visually so that they can see whether they are grouping or sharing.
