At my kid's school they start teaching division as "sharing" - a kid has 10 pieces of candy he wants to share with 5 friends; how many pieces can he share with each friend. Later they describe it as repeated subtraction - how many times can his 5 friends take a piece of candy from the pile of 10 pieces.
