We shared some wafer biscuits.
Lily and Mrs McKenzie shared one and got 1/2 each.
Ganda, Tyla and Stevie shared one and got 1/3 each.
Paige, Jonathon, Spike and Holly shared one and got 1/4 each.
Jack, Liam, Jordan, Dylan and Nathan shared one and got 1/5 each.
The consternation grew as Kayden, Kaeleb, Nikki, Sam, Teagan, Neil, Matthew and Lukah shared one and saw how small their 1/8 share would be!
Now we're sure we can order fraction numbers from smallest to biggest!
How would you share 3 wafers between 4 people?
Dear B4,
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious lesson! And how kind of all of you to share. I think I'd have trouble sharing mine! If I had a choice, I would want 1/2 because that is the largest piece! It looks like 1/8 is a very small piece.
If I had 3 wafers for 4 people, I would split each one up into 4 pieces. That would be 12 total pieces. I'd give each person 3 pieces. 3 x 4 = 12! Then, we'd probably all want more wafers!
Sincerely,
Mr. Avery

ReplyDeleteLast week we did fractions with vanilla biscuits. When we were finished we got to eat them.
They were yum. Then the next week we did it with Pebbles.
