Sharing Equally
In this video, we will learn how to
share objects equally between a number of groups. How could we share these cookies
equally between the two monsters? Let’s count how many cookies there
are. One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight. How many cookies should each
monster get? There’s one for you and one for
you. Here’s two for the orange monster
and two for the pink monster.
Now, the monsters have three
cookies each. And if we give both monsters one
more cookie, they’ll have four cookies each. There were eight cookies to begin
with. We shared them equally. Both monsters got four cookies
each. Both monsters have an equal amount
of cookies. Let’s try some questions to
practice sharing equally between a number of groups.
Liam has eight candies. He wants to divide them fairly
between himself and his friend. They want to make a model to show
how to share the candies. Pick the correct model. If he divides eight candies equally
between two people, they each get what candies.
In this question, we’re being asked
to divide or share eight candies equally between two people. We have to pick the model which
shows eight candies shared equally between two people. Here are two groups to represent
the two people, Liam and his friend. Here are eight counters to
represent the eight candies. Let’s share them equally.
We could give each friend one candy
each, two candies each, three candies each, four candies each. Can you spot the model which has
four candies each? It’s this one. If Liam divides his eight candies
equally between two people, they each get four candies.
There are 28 balls. After making four equal groups,
there will be what balls in each group.
In this question, we’re being asked
to share 28 balls into four equal groups. And to find out how many balls
there will be in each group. Here are four groups. Let’s share the balls equally. One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.
There are four groups, so we can
count in fours. Let’s add four more. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. There are five balls in each
group. 21, 22, 23, 24. There are six balls in each
group. 25, 26, 27, 28. There are seven balls in each
group. After making four equal groups,
there will be seven balls in each group. We shared 28 balls into four equal
groups. Each group has seven balls.
What have we learned in this
video? We’ve learned how to share objects
equally between a number of groups.
