Saturday: Number Hunt
Lucy and Bennie walk through the garden with a notebook.
"Let us hunt for things we can share fairly," says Lucy.
"Like a bowl of grapes, or a pile of leaves."
Bennie adds, "Or things we can pack in equal groups."
"We will write a division for each one!" says Lucy.
Hunt for things to share

Find a group of things you could share or pack.
Write the division for each one.

Share them fairly among the people at home. Is anything left?
Now pack them in groups of 2. How many groups?
Write a division for each way.

For a grown-up
This week your child learned two meanings of division.
18 ÷ 3 can mean 3 fair shares, or groups of 3.
Both answers are 6, but the stories are different.
Ask them which multiplication fact helps with each division.
