Same total, a different missing part

Let's make a plan someone can use. Share 40 practice cards equally among five activity stations. How many cards does each station get? What do we know? What are we trying to find? Make marks, move paper pieces, point, sign, talk or type. Give the quantities their own labels before you calculate. Here is one worked example: 40 ÷ 5 = 8. 8 cards at each of the 5 stations. Now look back at the brief. Does our answer count the right thing and meet the supplied conditions? For 42 badges shared among six desks, the answer is 7 badges per desk. For 42 badges with six badges per bag, the answer is 7 bags. Both totals must still be 42. Take your time. Choose one of today's new briefs and make your own plan. A different correct strategy is welcome. Explain one check and one useful conclusion.
