~7 min
Decide whether the story asks for group size or number of groups.
Deciding Sharing vs. Grouping
12 items shared into 3 equal groups
4 each
4 each
4 each
12 / 3 = 4
Division stories either ask you to share a total into equal groups (finding group size) or to find how many groups of a certain size fit into a total.
💡 Ask yourself: Do I know the number of groups, or do I know how many go in each group?
