This math topic focuses on practicing division by skip counting. It uses visual aids, specifically partial sets of starfish and hands, to help determine the number of these objects based on a total count of their features (arms for starfish and fingers for hands). Each question provides a scenario where students skip count by five to solve how many starfish or hands would have a specific total number of arms or fingers. The problems test students’ ability to apply skip counting to solve division questions in a fun and engaging way.
