Sharing the Earnings: The Front Porch
At the end of the day, Millie, Zoe and Mia sit on the Front Porch to share what they earned. Everyone worked hard, so they share the money equally, just like sharing cookies onto plates.
Remember: Sharing equally means dividing. $12.00 shared by 3 girls: $12.00 ÷ 3 = $4.00 each, because 3 × $4.00 = $12.00.
Magic trick: Check your sharing by multiplying back: if 3 girls each get $4.00, then 3 × $4.00 should make the whole $12.00.
Seek and Find
Look carefully at the picture of the Front Porch and find:
- 🍪 Find the plates of cookies. 12 cookies shared equally onto 3 plates: 12 ÷ 3 = 4 cookies on each plate. Money shares the same way: $12.00 ÷ 3 = $4.00 each.
- 🐷 Find the piggy banks. There are 3 piggy banks, one for each girl’s fair share.
- 🍋 Find the leftover lemons. 2 rows of 3 = 6 lemons for tomorrow!
- 🐱 Millie and her kitten Biscuit are hiding in every picture. Can you spot them?
