Saturday: Number Hunt
Oliver and Bennie walk through the meadow with a notebook and a pencil.
"Today we hunt for things to share," says Oliver.
"Count a big group, then decide how to share it equally."
Bennie adds, "And look closely at what is left over."
"Sometimes we round up, and sometimes we leave the remainder alone."
Oliver hoots softly. "A remainder is a clue. It tells us what to do next."

Count the books on a shelf. Share them among the people at home.
Count the steps on a stair or path. Divide by 3 for three equal parts.
