This math topic focuses on division by skip counting, specifically looking at the division of integers involving scenarios based on the total number of legs animals have. The problems involve determining the number of ants or bees given the total count of legs, implying that each creature shares a common number of legs (likely six, inferred from the context). The skill practiced is division, deducing how many insects are needed to reach a specified total count of legs, and it also includes a level of critical thinking as students use clues from the problems to solve them.
