Let’s solve each part step by step.
---
First row (already done as example):
-
Sharing: Divide 10 into 2 equal groups → Each group has 5 → Division sentence: 10 ÷ 2 = 5
-
Grouping: Divide 10 into groups of 2 → You get 5 groups → Division sentence: 10 ÷ 2 = 5
*(Note: Same numbers, different meaning — sharing is “how many in each group?”, grouping is “how many groups?”)*
---
Second row:
We are to divide
9 items.
→
Sharing: Divide 9 into 3 equal groups.
How many in each group?
9 ÷ 3 = 3 → So, 3 in each group.
Division sentence:
9 ÷ 3 = 3
→
Grouping: Divide 9 into groups of 3.
How many groups?
9 ÷ 3 = 3 → So, 3 groups.
Division sentence:
9 ÷ 3 = 3
*(Again, same math, different interpretation — but answer is same here because 9 is divisible evenly by 3.)*
---
Third row:
We are to divide
12 items.
→
Sharing: Divide 12 into 4 equal groups.
How many in each group?
12 ÷ 4 = 3 → So, 3 in each group.
Division sentence:
12 ÷ 4 = 3
→
Grouping: Divide 12 into groups of 4.
How many groups?
12 ÷ 4 = 3 → So, 3 groups.
Division sentence:
12 ÷ 4 = 3

Final Answer:
For the second row (dividing 9):
- Sharing: There are
3 in each group. Division sentence:
9 ÷ 3 = 3
- Grouping: There are
3 groups of 3. Division sentence:
9 ÷ 3 = 3
For the third row (dividing 12):
- Sharing: There are
3 in each group. Division sentence:
12 ÷ 4 = 3
- Grouping: There are
3 groups of 4. Division sentence:
12 ÷ 4 = 3
