Lesson details
Key learning points
- Skip counting can help to solve a sharing problem.
- The whole is shared equally with one object being given to each group.
- The size of each share is the number of times you have counted.
Keywords

Common misconception
Pupils may forget to stop their count when giving an answer to a sharing problem.
Emphasise the whole when writing equations and discussing problems. We count in 2s, 5s or 10s until we reach that whole. Stress that if we go further, we share more than we have to begin with.
