This math topic involves practicing division by skip counting. The problems use different scenarios, like counting fingers on hands or arms on starfish, to set up division expressions. The aim is to determine the appropriate division operation to find the total number of individuals (hands or starfish) based on a given total number of features (fingers or arms). Each question presents a total and asks students to identify the correct division expression that would yield the number of items (like hands or starfish) from that total. This is part of an introductory course to dividing integers.
