This math topic focuses on strengthening division skills through skip counting. Specifically, it involves determining how many spiders or octopuses would correspond to a given total number of legs by repeatedly adding or counting by eights. The set of problems is designed to facilitate understanding of skip counting's relationship to division, practicing the calculation of quantities based on a known multiple (eight legs). This topic is intended as an initial introduction to division within the broader scope of dividing integers.
