• If you cut the remaining pieces into 6 equal pieces, they have to cut ALL of the original pieces into 2 smaller pieces, making 8 total pieces. Is this true?

• How can we represent this? • What is the new fraction if all of the pieces are divided into 2

pieces: sixths, eighths? How will we know? • How much cake did Elliott take if we turn the cake into eighths:

1⁄8, 2⁄8?

• Can we put the cake back together to check?

Are you able to draw or fold paper to represent what has happened?

• What about 3⁄8 and 3⁄4; can we compare these amounts? How might we do that?

• Which is greater?

Compare 1⁄4 and 3⁄8. Which is greater? How can we tell?

• What fractions would be equal?

• Let’s compare 1
