the children sighed

with anticipation

when the pie

was brought out

but there was a problem

there were eight

slices of pie

and just

seven children

Robert eyed

the extra

Slice greedily

while the others

complained it

Wouldn’t be

fair for him

to have two slices

the children thought

about how the extra

slice should be

divided

Linda knew they

needed to use

fractions to find

the answer

she asked

the group

what number

stood for the part

that needed to be divided

STOP ESC!!

David suggested

seven because

there were

seven children

Nathan said

one because

because there was one

extra slice of pie

Linda said that

Nathan was right

The numerator

is one she said

then Linda asked

what number stood

for how that part

should be divided

this time

David was right

the denominator

of the

fraction is seven

she said

one slice of pie

divided between

seven children

meant that each

child received one

Scrumptious slice

Plus one-seventh

of the extra slice
