Answer sheet

1. 3 — Deal them out one at a time: each child ends up with 3. 3 and 3 make 6.
2. 2 — Dealing 8 blocks to 4 toys gives each toy 2 blocks. 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8.
3. No, it is not fair — A fair share means everyone gets the same number. 3 and 5 are not the same.
4. 4 — Count in threes: 3, 6, 9, 12. That is 4 groups of 3.
5. Each gets 2 and 1 is left over — After giving 2 each (4 biscuits), there is 1 biscuit left over.
6. 5 — Count in twos: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. That is 5 pairs.
7. 8 — 8 shares into 4 and 4. The odd numbers 7, 9 and 5 each leave 1 over.
8. 5 — Deal them out one at a time: each friend gets 5. 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.
