Divide to make sets Cover

Divide to make sets

Students revise how to solve division problems by how many sets can be made. For example, in the first activity a baker has decided to pack her Anzac biscuits into sets of five. For each of the provided scenarios, students must calculate how many sets of biscuits she can make, then complete the word and number sentences. The next task asks students to put the lollies from different jars into specific sets, then finally students go back to putting biscuits into a variety of packet sizes.
