   So … if you could have only one word to express the big idea that unifies all these uses of ‘division’ what would it be?

   If it helps, the audience is my 92 year old mother OR a group of adults upgrading their math skills. They want one word they can use to make sense of division.

   Division: A Study in …..?….

     Great question here…

     I might be inclined to say that division is a study of mathematical exploration to build strategic competence and adaptive reasoning. The strategies and mathematical models one can leverage to explore the two types of division and the varying situations can keep you “playing” for years.

     Division is the act of grouping elements. When you need to know the elements in each group, use Partitive Division. When you need to know the groups that can evenly contain the total number of elements, use Quotative Division. Without context, solving a division follows one procedure of determining the quotient from the dividend and the divisor.
