standard_description: 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.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Notice and Wonder is to elicit different questions from students about a story to prepare them for writing their own questions for a math story in an upcoming activity. Although students may notice and wonder many things, the most important discussion point will be the types of mathematical questions that can be asked about the story.
