This math topic focuses on practicing division by skip counting. It involves converting real-world problems into mathematical expressions, particularly using division. The problems ask questions about the total number of legs that a certain number of insects (ants or bees) would have, requiring students to determine how many insects are needed if each has six legs. Each problem provides two possible division expressions to select from, improving understanding of numerical relationships and division operations within the context of integers. This topic is an introductory part of division of integers.
