There are 20 pieces of bananas. If 5 children share them equally, how many pieces of bananas will each one get?
Let's use multiplication to think and discuss how to find the answer.
1) When we share 1 banana with 5 children, the total number of banana is:
5 ⨯ 1 = 5
2) When we share 2 bananas, the total number of banana is:
5 ⨯ 2 = 10
3) When we share 3 bananas, the total number of banana is:
