Read, model, calculate, check

Ask learners to identify what is known and what the question asks. A drawing, timeline or equation can make the relationship visible before they calculate. Check the answer against the original story and keep its unit.

The ready-made English downloads include practice alone or a separate answer key. The generator keeps the same questions in the preview and PDF, and a saved link reproduces the selected set.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Distinguish finding the number of groups from finding how much belongs in each group.

Worked example

A school packs 168 pencils into bags of 12. How many full bags does it make?

168 ÷ 12 = 14 bags.

The total and group size are known. The unknown is how many groups of that size fit in the total.

Teaching notes
