The story introduces children to the concept of division through the challenge of dividing thirteen beans among a group of crickets. The crickets attempt to divide the beans into equal sets, but one bean always remains, illustrating the idea of remainders. This narrative offers a playful introduction to division as grouping into equal sets (ACMNA032 – Year 2, Mathematics). It can be used to introduce division in early maths lessons, helping children visualise how division works in real-world contexts. Additionally, the story connects well with the concept of sharing and fairness, which is explored in Just Enough! by Steven Huynh, and sometimes fairness does not have to mean ‘equal’.
