Division by Skip Counting - Full Picture Set to Long Division Expression

Level 8

This topic focuses on division skills, where students are asked to determine how many of a specific item, such as octopi or spiders, would add up to a given total number of legs by using skip counting. Each question presents two possible division expressions, and students must select the correct one. The expressions involve dividing the total number of legs by the number of legs per individual creature to find the total number of creatures. This exercise helps to strengthen understanding of division concepts and interpret division with practical examples.
