If there are an equal number of birds at each feeder, how many birds are at each one? Activity 1 Use counters to find how many in each group. Materials counters MathBoard What do you need to find? Circle the numbers you need to use. What can you use to help solve the problem? MODEL Use 10 counters. Draw 2 circles on your MathBoard. Place 1 counter at a time in each circle until all 10 counters are used. Draw the rest of the counters to show your work. THINK _ in all _ equal groups _ in each group RECORD 5 Image Credits: Visuals Unlimited/Corbis There are _ counters in each of the 2 groups. So, there are _ hummingbirds at each feeder.

Hands On Activity 2 Draw to find how many equal groups. There are 10 hummingbirds in Tyler s backyard. If there are 2 hummingbirds at each feeder, how many feeders are there? Math Idea You can divide to find the number in each group or to find the number of equal groups. MODEL Look at the 10 counters. Circle a group of 2 counters. Continue circling groups of 2 until all 10 counters are in groups. THINK _ in all _ in each group _ equal groups RECORD 5 10 2 = 5 or 2 ) 10 Read: Ten divided by two equals five. There are _ groups of 2 counters. So, there are _ feeders. Share and Show 1.
