The triangles are learning how to share

We are learning to share a number. When we share we put the counters into groups. When we share the groups need to be the same.

In these photos we are solving 20 shared into 5 groups. First we have to make 5 piles of 1.

Then we get another one for each pile. We look and see if the piles are the same. Then we check we have more counters. Then we put another one in every pile. Then we check if they are the same. We still have more counters so we get another one in every pile. We keep going until the piles are the same. We have 4 in each pile

 

The most important thing about sharing is that the piles are the same.
