Let's keep talking fractions! In this episode Pam and Kim discuss an interesting rich task from Cathy Fosnot to help students reason about fractions within the context of sharing fairly. Listen in to learn about the outcomes teachers should look for when teaching fractional sense in a rich contextual problem.
Talking Points:

Splitting the wholes into unit fractions
Splitting the leftovers into smaller unit fractions and re-unitizing
Patterns when comparing same-denominator fractions vs same-numerator fractions
