Three squirrels, Dan, Stan, and Jan, have 1, 2, and 3 acorns,
respectively. If there are 21 acorns left on the tree, how many
more should each squirrel get to have an equal number of acorns?
Note that all 21 acorns must be used.

Stan
Jan
If Jan takes 1 more acorn from the tree, how many acorns
should Dan and Stan take in order for them to have equal
number of acorns?
In order to have the same number of acorns, Stan must take 1
more than Jan, and Dan must take 2 more than Jan. Complete
the table and write how many acorns each squirrel needs to take.
Number of acorns Dan takes 3
Number of acorns Stan takes 2
