Mini-Lesson

A recipe calls for ½ cup of flour and 1/3 cup of sugar. Sally says they need 2/5 cups for the dry ingredients. Jenny says she is wrong that you have 5/6 cup of dry ingredients.

In your math journal decide who is correct and defend your answer.

Share/Reflection

A fifth-grade class traveled on a field trip in four separate cars. The school provided a lunch of submarine sandwiches for each group. When they stopped for lunch, the subs were cut and shared as follows:

• The first group had 4 people and shared 3 subs equally.

• The second group had 5 people and shared 4 subs equally.

• The third group had 8 people and shared 7 subs equally.

• The last group had 5 people and shared 3 subs equally.

When they returned from the field trip, the children began to argue that the distribution of sandwiches had not been fair, that some children got more to eat than the others. Were they right? Or did everyone get the same amount?
