This math topic focuses on division by skip counting, specifically turning a division problem into a division expression. The problems involve scenarios that ask how many groups of a certain number (usually 7) fit into a larger total, such as the number of stars in constellations or pencil crayons in boxes. Each question is accompanied by images of division expressions, where students must decide between options like "21 divided by 7" or "7 divided by 21". This is aimed at helping students understand division within the context of integers, matching practical scenarios with correct mathematical expressions.
