Given a hand in school, perhaps (5)

I believe the answer is:

dealt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'given' is the definition.
(dealing is a kind of giving)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for dealt that I've seen before include "Delivered" , "Delta (anag.)" , "Carried out business" , "Traded" , "Handed out (cards)" .)
