Answer guide · AC9M1N06

  1. 4 groups, with 3 counters in each.
  2. It is unequal. Move one counter from the group of 6 to the group of 4 to make 5 and 5.
  3. 2 on each plate; four equal groups of two make eight.
  4. 2 plates. The group size is four and there are two groups.

If help is needed: For ‘three mats’, make three groups first. For ‘three in each group’, place three objects together repeatedly instead.
