The circles are learning to share

We are learning to share. Sharing means that everyone has to have the same number.

In the first photo we sharing 9 between 3. To start we need to make 3 piles of 1. Then we get another one. Now we have 2 counters. Then we get another one and that makes 3!Everybody has 3!

In this photo we are learning to solve 18 between 3.
First we need to get one each. Then get another one and we have 2. Then we get another one again. We have 3. We get another one. Now we have 4. Then get another one. That is 5! Then we get another one. That's 6! There are no more so the answer is 6.

 

The most important thing about sharing is that the numbers have to be the same.
