Lyrics

Great Divide, The Great Divide 

Great Divide, The Great Divide 

 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

To divide you multiply and then subtract it 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Divide 

 

This is just a refresher 

Just to get yourself together 

For the next mathematical phase 

And Phase and numbers craze 

And all the things you will divide 

Now break it down 

How many parts and sets can be found? 

What can I get out of this and that number? operate the function 

Divide 

 

Let me tell you how to play 

You break it down 

Let me tell you how to play it, you break it all down 

(Divide, The Great Divide) 

 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

To divide you multiply and then subtract it 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Divide 

 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

To divide you multiply and then subtract it 

 

You’ve got the dash with top and bottom dots sitting in the center 

All the big numbers on the top when you do division 

But to break it down 

Draw a hangman now 

Put your numbers on the out and inside 

Break it down 

Big number in and the smaller number out 

Then divide the dividend by the divisor get the quotient 

Ain’t no joking when I say multiply 

You’ve got to know how first just to divide 

So, multiply and then subtract it that’s the action to divide 

Here’s an example:  

You’ve got three people and you’ve got 12 apples 

(12/3 = 4)  

Everybody gets four there’s no remainder left over 

 

Divide 

Let me tell you how to break it 

Break it down 

Let me tell you how to break it, you break it all down 

(Divide, The Great Divide) 

 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

To divide you multiply and then subtract it 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Divide 

 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

To divide you multiply and then subtract it 

 

Let me tell you how to break  

Break it down 

Let me tell you how to break it, break it all down 

(Divide, Divide, Divide, divide)  

 

Remember how to divide a fraction 

Get reciprocal  

Turn the second fraction upside down 

Now it’s reciprocated  

Then multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal 

Then simplify (simplify, simplify) then divide 

There’s nothing to it (nothing to it) 

You know the basics you can definitely do it 

Follow the formula 

Get ready for that Algebra 

geometry, trigonometry, and calculus 

You’re going to know how to divide it up  

And multiply and subtract too 

Break it down 

How many sets and parts can be found? 

How many times does this go into that number? 

What’s the outcome? What’s the outcome? 

Divide  

Let me tell you how to play 

(Great Divide) 

You break it down 

Let me tell you how to play it, you break it all down 

(Divide, The Great Divide) 

 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

To divide you multiply and then subtract it 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Break it down, divide 

Divide 

 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

Divisor, dividend, quotient, divide 

To divide you multiply and then subtract it 

Standards

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.OA.A.2 — Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.3.D — Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7 — Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.NS.A.2.D — Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division; know that the decimal form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.NS.A.2.B — Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number. If p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q). Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.APR.D.7 — (+) Understand that rational expressions form a system analogous to the rational numbers, closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by a nonzero rational expression; add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.NS.A.2.C — Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.B.2 — Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.OA.A.1 — Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
