1. One day, you go for a walk in the forest. Soon, it gets dark and scary.

You are lost!And is something hiding behind that log?

SUDDENLY…

2. …out jumps an ogre! “I want to eat you!” he says.

3. “But you’re in luck. I need some help with my children. So IF you can help me, I’ll let you live.” You agree!

4. “Here is my problem. I have two children. How can I share this pizza between them? Draw it, and make sure you give them the same number of pieces, otherwise they’ll be angry – and maybe I’ll cut you into pieces to share between them!”

5. “Well done!” says the ogre.

5a. “But now here’s another problem. Here comes my wife – and she loves sweets. How can I share these twelve sweets between her and me and the children? Do it right, otherwise I’ll cut you into pieces to share for them!”

6. “You’ve done a good job! Maybe I won’t eat you.”END OF PART ONE

7. PART 2:Now, I need to write this down so I don’t forget it.

Actually, YOU need to write it down. My hands are too big to hold a pencil!”

8. “Now, listen carefully. You need to use a division symbol. It looks like this.It looks like that because you take a sword, and cut something in two pieces, one on

either side. “

8a. See?

9. “So, that pizza. How many pieces were there? We’ll write that down first.”

10. Good. Now, we divided them among the children, so let’s write the dividing sign.”

11. “Now…how many children do I have again?”

12. “Oh yes. Now, we’ll just write the answers, or equals sign, and then how many pieces did each one have? “

13. “Good! You’ve finished. Now, any time I have pizza to share between them I can look at this paper. So, 8 divided by 2 is 4. I’ll remember that!”

14. Now, my wife came along, and we had twelve sweets to share between her and me and the two children. So how many sweets was that each? Write that down for me.”

15. “Good! Thanks, you have been very helpful. I’m not going to eat you, I’ll even show you the way home.”

15a. “Here, have a bag of sweets to eat as we walk.”

16. And the ogres shows you the way home.Can you see it now?

17. You look in the bag and see ______ sweets. So how many is that to share between you?

Can you write it down?
