Before we start…..Activate

Step 1. Watch my video for help

Step 2. Grab the bag of lollies that Miss Mooney sent home.

Step 3. Create a name tag for each person in your house and place it on a flat surface.

Step 4. Share the amount of lollies in your bag with the people in your household.

Think?......

Are the groups equal or fair?

Are the groups uneven?

How many did you begin with and how many does each person get?

Write your findings in your book

E.g. I had 14 chocolates and I shared them equally/fairly or unequally/unfairly between 2 people. Each person would get 7 chocolates. Draw a picture to show your work.
