Lesson preview
This is the real lesson text your child hears, read aloud by a friendly voice.
To divide 480 by 12, think: how many 12s fit in 480? 12 × 40 = 480, so the answer is 40.
Estimate with friendly numbers: 589 ÷ 31 is about 600 ÷ 30 = 20.
Long division works the same with 2-digit divisors: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down.
