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.

Crates and plates
1Three groups of five Times means equal groups: three groups of five.
215 Five and five fill the row, and ten ones trade for a ten. Then five more slide on: one ten and five ones is 15.
3Double it, then double it again Four is two twos, so double and double again.
428 Four groups of seven is double double seven.
54 Three plates of four make twelve, so each plate gets four.
6backwards Three plates of four make twelve, so twelve shared among three is four.
71-B, 2-C, 3-D, 4-A Sharing is times turned backwards, so the numbers belong together.
85 × 6 = 30 Five groups of six make thirty, so thirty shared among five is six.
9False Nothing is added and nothing is lost. 2 × 8 and 8 × 2 are both 16.
10No Times means equal groups. Three groups of four make 12.
11True Three times four is twelve, which is why twelve shared among three is four.
1221 Three groups of seven make twenty-one.
136 Four friends with six each make 24, so 4 × 6 = 24 gives the share.
