Apples and Eggs

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides students with visual models to answer questions related to division. The worksheet displays images of baskets with apples and nests with eggs, and asks students to count and record the total number of items in all, the number of items in each group, and the total number of groups. After counting, students must write a division sentence that represents the scenario depicted by the models. This method helps in translating a visual quantity assessment into a mathematical division expression.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to apply division to real-world contexts by using familiar items such as apples in baskets and eggs in nests. It encourages the understanding that division is a method of evenly distributing items into groups and involves counting both the items and the groups. This exercise helps students recognize that division can determine the size of each group or the number of groups. By asking for a division sentence, it also introduces the notation and language of division, bridging the gap between conceptual understanding and mathematical representation.
