	Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, especially in elementary arithmetic, division is an arithmetic operation which is the inverse of multiplication.
		The obelus is also used alone to represent the division operation itself, as for instance as a label on a key of a calculator.
		Division can be calculated with an abacus by repeatedly placing the dividend on the abacus, and then subtracting the divisor the offset of each digit in the result, counting the number of divisions possible at each offset.

	AllRefer.com - division, in mathematics (Mathematics) - Encyclopedia
		Division may be indicated by the symbol ÷, as in 15 ÷ 3, or simply by a fraction, 15/3.
		A division in which the divisor b is larger than the dividend a is simply indicated by the fraction a/b, with no actual operation being carried out.
		The division of a by b is equivalent to the multiplication of a by the multiplicative inverse of b, i.e., a ÷ b = a • (1/b) = a • b

	Division of Mathematics Learning and Teaching
		The mathematics education reform movement is built on very different ideas about the nature of learning, teaching, and, indeed, mathematics itself, than the views that have prevailed in American schooling for many years.
		Drawing from theories of cognitive development, the paper focuses on three components of the change process: (1) qualitative reorganizations of understanding; (2) orderly progression of changes; and (3) the contexts and mechanisms by which transitions are effected; and suggests a fourth component-individual motivational and dispositional factors.
		The goal is to engage teachers in a process of inquiry--into mathematics; into learning mathematics; into students' mathematical thinking, in general, and the thinking of one's own students, in particular.
