Equal Shares

This week in math we have been learning about equal shares. On Wednesday students worked with a partner to share three muffins equally. Some students decided that each student should get one whole muffin and they cut the third muffin in half. While other groups cut all three muffins in half and each partner received three halves. The challenge problem was: Four children want to share 5 muffins equally, how many muffins does each child receive?  Students discussed that each person would get one whole muffin and then they could cut the 5th muffin into quarters (fourths). Below are some photographs from our math lesson. Today students uploaded photographs of their muffins and their learning to their Seesaw accounts, be sure to check them out.
