A baker has 12 pounds of almonds. She puts them in a bag so that each bag has the same weight. Clare and Tyler drew diagrams and wrote equations to show how they were thinking about 12 ÷ 6. How do you think Clare and Tyler thought about 12 divided 6? Explain what each diagram and each part of each equation (especially the missing number) of might mean in the context of the bags of almonds.
12 is how many pound of almonds there are. 6 is how many bags. 2 is how many almons there are in one bag for Tyler. For Clare is 12 almonds when there are 2 bags and there are 6 almonds in each bag.
