Let me work through this problem step by step.
The task asks: "Which group shows counting by 5's?"
I need to count the stars in each box and see which ones have multiples of 5 (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.).
Box 1 (top left):
- First row: 3 stars
- Second row: 3 stars
- Third row: 4 stars
- Total: 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 stars ✓ (10 is a multiple of 5)
Box 2 (top right):
- First row: 3 stars
- Second row: 3 stars
- Third row: 4 stars
- Total: 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 stars ✓ (10 is a multiple of 5)
Box 3 (middle left):
- First row: 4 stars
- Second row: 5 stars
- Third row: 4 stars
- Total: 4 + 5 + 4 = 13 stars (13 is NOT a multiple of 5)
Box 4 (middle right):
- First row: 3 stars
- Second row: 3 stars
- Third row: 3 stars
- Total: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 stars ✗ (9 is NOT a multiple of 5)
Box 5 (bottom left):
- First row: 3 stars
- Second row: 3 stars
- Third row: 3 stars
- Total: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 stars (9 is NOT a multiple of 5)
Box 6 (bottom right):
- First row: 4 stars
- Second row: 4 stars
- Third row: 4 stars
- Total: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 stars ✗ (12 is NOT a multiple of 5)
Let me recount more carefully by looking at the arrangement:
Box 1: Looking at the pattern - I see groups that appear to be arranged as 5 + 5 = 10 stars ✓
Box 2: Same arrangement - appears to be 5 + 5 = 10 stars ✓
Box 3: This looks like it could be 5 + 5 + 3 = 13 stars ✗
Box 4: This appears to be 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 stars ✗
Box 5: This appears to be 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 stars ✗
Box 6: This appears to be 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 stars ✗
Wait, let me look more carefully at the visual grouping. The question asks which GROUPS show counting by 5s. Looking at how the stars are clustered:
In Box 1: Stars appear grouped as 5 and 5 (two groups of 5)
In Box 2: Stars appear grouped as 5 and 5 (two groups of 5)
These two boxes show the concept of counting by 5s because they have exactly 10 stars arranged in groups of 5.
Final Answer:
The top two boxes (first row) show counting by 5s. Both contain 10 stars, which equals 5 + 5 or 2 × 5.
