When teaching is a calling

Just like a good teacher, he asks his class what to do next, and a learner responds, instructing him to write circles equal to the number next to them. The whole class counts together as he carefully draws the circles. He then asks for the next step and is told to break the eight into two groups, which he does using circles, arriving at the answer of four.

He follows the same method for the next numbers, drawing six circles, dividing them into two groups of three, and then repeating the process with the last number. When the sum is finished, the entire class enthusiastically answer: 432.

Others thanked the boy for showing them an easy division method
