Sharing Sweeties

This week we have been learning about sharing.  We have been taking a large group of items and putting them into smaller groups by sharing.  Today we made sweeties from paper and shared them in groups.  By doing this we have learned how many groups certain numbers can be made into.   

We have also learned that sharing items into groups is the opposite of what we were learning about last week – making small groups into a big group!  This is all helping us to learn about multiplication and division and we are showing a good understanding of it all!  You can help us by asking us questions like’ 4 groups of 2 equals?’  or ‘8 shared between 4 equals?’.  We might need some real items to share!

Here are some of the groups sharing out their ‘sweeties’!
