Division is the operation children meet last and understand least, because it is really two questions wearing one symbol. "Share 12 between 3" and "how many 3s fit into 12" give the same answer for different reasons. Both are worth saying out loud — and both collapse without secure times tables.
Best for ages 8–11
Yes, and this is the single most common cause of trouble with division. 56 ÷ 7 is only answerable by someone who knows 7 × 8. If division is going badly, the fix is usually more table practice, not more division.
