Fish Bowls (Solve multiplicative comparison word problems involving finding the number of groups using drawings)

The video tutorial explains how to compare the number of fish in two bowls using a multiplicative approach. The small bowl contains three fish, while the big bowl has twelve. The lesson demonstrates how to determine how many times more fish the big bowl holds by grouping the fish into sets equivalent to the small bowl. By creating four groups of three fish each, it is shown that the big bowl holds four times as many fish as the small bowl. The tutorial emphasizes using drawings to solve multiplicative comparison problems.
