represent practical situations that involve equal sharing and grouping with physical and virtual materials and use counting or subitising strategies
- using materials to role-play equal sharing; for example, sharing pieces of fruit or a bunch of grapes between 4 people and discussing how you would know they have been shared equally; or, when playing card games where each player is dealt the same number of cards, counting the number of cards after the deal to ensure they have the same amount
- representing situations that involve counting several items; for example, starting with 9 beads or 6 $1 coins and then sharing them equally between 3 people by subitising or counting each group by ones to decide how many beads or coins each person will receive
- exploring instructive games of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples that involve sharing; for example, playing Yangamini of the Tiwi Peoples of Bathurst Island to investigate and discuss equal sharing
