Good morning, my friend! Are you trying to figure something out? Maybe I can help!
Hi there! My friends and I are hungry, and I have a bunch of bananas. I want to give each of my friends the same number of bananas, but I’m not sure how to do it. I don’t want anyone to feel left out.
When you want to share something equally, it’s called dividing. Dividing means splitting a whole into equal parts. Let’s see how we can share these nine bananas among three monkeys.
Let’s start by giving out the bananas one by one: one for the brown monkey, one for the gray monkey, and one for you. Let’s do it again: one for the brown monkey, one for the gray monkey, and one for you. Just a few more: one for the brown monkey, one for the gray monkey, and one for you.
All done! Now, how many bananas does each monkey have?
Each monkey has three bananas. Great job sharing! The math we did was nine bananas divided by three monkeys, which equals three bananas for each monkey.
Thank you for helping me! My friends are really happy now.
Snack time! Another friend has come over for dinner, and he brought eight mangoes. They look delicious!
Now there are four monkeys, and there are eight mangoes. How can we make sure each monkey gets the same number of mangoes?
Easy peasy! Let’s share them like before: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.
Now each monkey has two mangoes. The math we did was eight mangoes divided by four monkeys, which equals two mangoes for each monkey.
Let’s see if you understood. Here’s a challenge for you: you have six balls and need to divide them among three monkeys. How many balls should you give to each monkey? You have 10 seconds to think about it.
That’s it! If you shared out six balls among three monkeys, you’d give each monkey two balls. Six divided by three is two.
Now you know what division is! Little by little, you’re becoming a math expert. Keep up the good work!

Banana Sharing Game: Gather some small objects like buttons, coins, or toy blocks to represent bananas. Pretend you are the monkey from the story and practice dividing these objects among your friends or family members. Try different numbers of objects and people to share with. How many does each person get? Can you find a way to make sure everyone gets the same amount?
Draw and Divide: Take a piece of paper and draw a picture of a tree with nine bananas hanging from it. Now, draw three monkeys under the tree. Practice dividing the bananas by drawing lines to show how each monkey gets an equal share. Try this with different numbers of bananas and monkeys. Can you find a way to divide them equally every time?
Real-Life Division Hunt: Look around your home or classroom and find things you can divide equally. It could be crayons, cookies, or even pieces of fruit. Try dividing them among your family members or classmates. How many does each person get? Share your findings with your teacher or friends and see if they can come up with more examples!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Good morning, my friend! I see you’re very focused on something. Can I help you with anything?
Hi there! My friends and I are hungry, and look how many bananas I’ve got. The problem is, I would like to give the same number of bananas to each of them, but I don’t know how to do it. I don’t want my friends to be upset with me.
What you want to do is share this quantity of bananas in equal parts, right?
Yes, that’s it!
Well, this is called dividing. To divide is to split a whole into equal parts. Let’s see how we can share these nine bananas among three monkeys.
Let’s start handing out the bananas one by one: one for the brown monkey, one for the gray monkey, and one for you. Let’s do another round: one for the brown monkey, one for the gray monkey, and one for you. Come on, there are only a few left to go: one for the brown monkey, one for the gray monkey, and one for you.
Done! We’ve shared out all the bananas. How many bananas does each monkey have now?
Now we have three bananas each. That was great sharing! The math operation we did was nine bananas divided by three monkeys, which equals three bananas for each monkey.
Thank you for helping me! My friends are really happy.
Snack time! Here’s another friend who came over for dinner. He brought eight mangoes. They look so yummy!
Now you are four monkeys, and there are eight mangoes. What should we do so that each monkey gets the same number of mangoes?
Easy peasy! We start sharing them out like we did before: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.
Now look, each monkey has two mangoes. The math operation we did was eight mangoes divided by four monkeys, which equals two mangoes for each monkey.
Let’s see if you understood. Here’s a challenge for you: you have six balls and need to divide them among three monkeys. How many balls should you give to each monkey? You have 10 seconds to think about it.
That’s it! If you shared out six balls among three monkeys, you’d give each monkey two balls. Six divided by three is two.
Now you know what division is! Do you realize that little by little, you’re becoming a math expert? Keep up the good work!
