This math topic involves problems related to "Division by Skip Counting," converting a division problem from a word problem format to a mathematical expression. Specifically, it centers on determining how many certain creatures (like spiders and octopuses) would collectively have a specified number of legs, using division of integers. Each question presents a scenario calculated by dividing the total amount of legs by the number of legs one creature has. Students learn to identify and write the correct division expression pertinent to each scenario. This is part of an introductory unit on the division of integers.
