- Definition
Quotative division is when you know the total amount and how much goes into each group, and you need to figure out how many groups there will be. For example, if you have 10 cookies and put 2 cookies on each plate, you're using quotative division to find out you'll need 5 plates.
quotative division is a term used in Ontario’s Kindergarten to Grade 8 curriculum.
