[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3.OA.2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.

This is so badly written.  It's laughable.[/quote]

What's badly-written about it? If you were the editor, what would you do to make it better?[/quote]

It's badly written because no one can agree what it means.[/quote]

Here's a bag with 56 M&Ms in it.  Show how you can divvy it up into equal shares for 8 kids.  How many does each kid get?  7.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
