Launch:
Lead the students through the following discussion about equal sharing. Show solutions.
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to share something? For example, if
you had 6 pieces of candy (i.e. tootsie rolls) and wanted to share them equally with
your two friends, how much would each of you get?
What if you only had 1 large candy bar? How much would each of you get?
Read the word problem to the students and ask them what information do they remember.
Show them the word problem and read it again. Ask them to solve the problem showing
their work.
Independent Work:
Observe students working. Support productive struggle by asking questions. i.e. What do
you know? What do you want to find out? Would it help to draw a picture?
Sharing Out:
Ask each person to share their solution. Look for and discuss different strategies. Refer back
to the teaching point.
