Equal Division of Sets

Last week, we worked on equal division of sets. Students were presented tasks and given objects to help solve them. For example: Mr. Lemons has four computers for the class to share. If there are 12 students, how many will be at each computer?

A student's work to solve task #4.

Prem counts how many snowmen he has and compares
his total with his table mates.

Camden's group takes turns choosing one cube at a time to
make sure each one gets the same number.

Bailey and Connor work together to divide their tiles equally.

Alexis and Trystan's group work together to divide their set.

This lesson lays the foundation for multiplication and division. I don't think students realized they were learning. They were having too much fun!

AR Congratulations!
