For Develop & Understand AWe will need brick sheets and scissors.

Group 1: 5 people & 4 bricksGroup 2: 6 people & 5 bricksGroup 3: 12 people & 9 bricksGroup 4: 5 people & 6 bricks

Your group will need to come up with a plan that will give everyone in your group the same amount of clay. After you have your plan call me over, tell me your plan, and I will give you scissors so you can cut your bricks. Be ready to explain to the class how you decided what you were going to do.

For Develop & Understand BWe will need brick sheets, chips and scissors.

Your group will need to write each problem as a mixed number and as an improper fraction.

Remember that a mixed number tells the number of whole pieces and the number of parts over the number of pieces it takes to make a whole.While the improper (aka common) fraction tells the number of parts over the number of pieces it takes to make a whole.

Be ready to explain to the class how you found your mixed numbers and improper fractions.
