Division is introduced in Class 2 as equal sharing and grouping — two concepts that appear repeatedly in IMO papers. Bronze questions test simple table facts in reverse (if 7 × 6 = 42, then 42 ÷ 6 = 7). Silver questions wrap the division inside a word problem about packing, distributing or grouping objects. Gold questions chain division with multiplication or addition, requiring a child to apply more than one operation before reaching the final answer.
