standard_description: Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.

Narrative
Students take turns rolling a number cube and using the number as a numerator in a fraction with a denominator of 2, 3, or 4. Students move their centimeter cube that interval on one of the shared number lines. Each time a cube lands exactly on the last tick mark of one of the number lines, the player who moved it keeps the cube and puts a new cube on zero on that number line. The first player to collect five cubes wins.
Additional Information
Each group of 2 needs 12 centimeter cubes.
