Abstract: This paper describes the 'Mathematics Divide' project carried out with the participation of researchers from different areas of Computer Science and Mathematics and in collaboration with the teachers and pupils of a primary school in Perugia (Central Italy). The project aimed at designing and implementing an interactive educational software for the fourth and fifth grades of primary school regarding the operation of division, accordingly to the Italian National Syllabus (Syllabus, 2008) defined by the Ministry of Instruction, University and Research (MIUR, 2010). The design of the software is based on findings from the didactics of mathematics research field regarding the operation of division and on engineering methodologies for educational hypermedia.
