Remember: Times is equal groups. Sharing is times turned backwards, so a times fact gives the share.
Read and answer
Read the story, then answer.
The apple stallMia sells apples in crates of five. Ben orders three crates. Counting one by one takes ages, so Pip shows a quicker way. On the frame, five beads slide across for one crate, and five more fill the row. Ten ones trade for a ten, and five more slide on: 15. Three groups of five is three times five. Later, twelve apples are shared on three plates, one at a time. Each plate gets four. Sharing is times turned backwards: three plates of four make twelve.
