Deal them out like cards: one to each friend, then another to each, until none are left. Then count one friend's pile.
sharegive some to each person

equalthe same amount
Watch for: Giving one friend extra and stopping when the others are short. Counting all the objects instead of one friend's share. Calling a share fair when the numbers are close but not the same.
At home: Share a snack between family members by dealing it out one at a time. Ask: did everyone get the same?
