Back to the basics..
Today in class we had a student presenter who helped us to learn how to divide with the grouping method. We had candy corn, and divided them into even groups. For example, for the problem 24/2, we started by making 2 groups. From there, we evenly disperse the remaining candy corn into the two groups. So when all of your candy corn is gone, you should have 2 groups with 12 candy corn in each.

The presentation with candy corn was a great idea for helping kids learn division. I have children in elementary school, and I know that candy is a "motivating factor" used to help kids learn. I also think that you could use something other than candy for this activity, like buttons or pennies.
