It helps students understand division as a method of sharing things equally and introduces measurement using standard (cm, m, kg, l) and non-standard (handspan, footsteps) units. Through practical examples and story-based problems, children gain insights into dividing objects or numbers and estimating or measuring different quantities like length, weight, and volume. This chapter builds a bridge between mathematical operations and everyday tasks.
