This exercise involves guiding students through a step-by-step process of creating their own word problems. There are six steps: illustrating the dividend, designating the divisor, forming an array, calculating the quotient, writing out a word problem, and then using a complete sentence to write the answer.

Teaching kids about division by having them create their own word problems fosters a deeper understanding of the concept. This approach encourages creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, as students need to deconstruct the mathematical process to make sense of it in a real-life context. It enhances their engagement and awareness of when and how to apply division in daily situations.
