This math topic focuses on practicing skip counting and basic division. Students tackle problems where they must determine how many insects (ants or bees) correspond to a given total number of legs by skip counting in increments of six. Each problem is phrased similarly, asking students to calculate how many such insects would result in a specific multiple of six (representing the legs). These problems are part of an introductory unit on the division of integers, enhancing students' ability to connect division with multiplication and skip counting strategies.
