Let's solve each part of this
"Dividing into Equal Groups" worksheet step by step. The goal is to divide the food items equally among the kids and write a division equation for each.
---
1. Bananas
-
Total bananas: Count them → There are 6 bananas.
-
Number of kids: 2 kids (one boy, one girl).
-
Divide: 6 ÷ 2 = 3
-
Each kid gets: 3 bananas.
✔ Answer:
6 ÷ 2 = 3
Each kid gets

2. Muffins
-
Total muffins: Count them → There are 8 muffins.
-
Number of kids: 2 kids (one girl with dark hair, one girl with light hair).
-
Divide: 8 ÷ 2 = 4
-
Each kid gets: 4 muffins.
✔ Answer:
8 ÷ 2 = 4
Each kid gets
4 muffins.

3. Pretzels
-
Total pretzels: Count them → There are 6 pretzels.
-
Number of kids: 3 kids (one boy, two girls).
-
Divide: 6 ÷ 3 = 2

4. Cherries
-
Total cherries: Count them → There are 12 cherries.
-
Number of kids: 3 kids (two boys, one girl).
-
