Unit 3 Module 1 - Equivalent Fractions
Session 2 - Fair shares
L.G. I can begin to connect fractions to division, seeing that sharing three items among four people results in ¾.
Open up to SB pg. 82
Because of ALL the problem solving we have done together this year, I am confident that you can tackle these problems!
Take 30 minutes to get as much done as you can with your math partner.
