Pack, Group and Check - Year 1

Start with a known collection and a fixed pack size, then find the number of full packs. Students inspect claims against faithful models, distinguish groups from the amount each and total, and repair unequal shares without changing the collection. The sequence transfers these ideas into a classroom supply plan.

The editable presentation includes physical, diagram and virtual approaches, with twelve separate movable counters on slide 9. Complete practical kits provide all cards, rules, pieces, mats, records and checking guides. Core quantities are within 20; optional 24-item and spare-item tasks extend students after the core.
