What Fraction is My Share?

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?

  1. Dear B4,

    What 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

    last bit in to 3 pieces .

    Last 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.
