Suppose we interpret 20÷5 as how much is in each group if there are 5 groups?' Show how you think we could draw a diagram for this.

Draw 20 squares. Place the squares in a grid pattern. You can have 5 rows, and you'll have 4 squares in each row. This gives 5*4 = 20 squares total. This is one way to represent 20÷5 = 4.
