WEEK 5: Making groups
In KC we have 17 children. When we do Daily 5 we form 5 groups and for Math Daily 3 we form 3 groups.
Our groups are usually unequal because of the number of children we have in the class. For example, in Daily 5 we have 4 groups of 4 and 1 group of 5. When we do Math Daily 3 we form 2 group of 6 and 1 group of 5.
What groups can you form at your house? Are they equal or unequal groups?
Share what you have done by commenting below or in your Homework Book.
