Narrative
The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.


Topic options: 
A. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
B. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
C. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
D. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
G. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
H. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
I. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
J. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
K. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.


Your response:

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to continue to solve problems about dividing a unit fraction by a whole number. The unit fraction in both problems is
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
so that students will consider the relationship between the number of people sharing the macaroni and cheese and the size of the serving each person gets. When students connect the quantities in the story problem to an equation and a diagram representing the story, they reason abstractly and quantitatively (MP2).
Launch
Groups of 2
Activity
1–2 minutes: independent think time
5–8 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who :
draw diagrams like the ones in the student responses
describe the amount each person gets as a fraction of the whole pan
describe a relationship between the number of people sharing and the size of the serving each person gets
Student Facing
4 people equally share
\(\frac {1}{2}\)
a pan of macaroni and cheese.
Draw a diagram to represent the situation.
Explain how your diagram represents
\(\frac {1}{2} \div 4\)
.
How much of the whole pan of macaroni and cheese did each person get? Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
5 people equally share
\(\frac {1}{2}\)
a pan of macaroni and cheese.
Draw a diagram to represent the situation.
Explain how your diagram represents
\(\frac {1}{2} \div 5\)
.
How much of the whole pan of macaroni and cheese did each person get? Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
How are the problems the same? How are they different?

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not identify or explain how much macaroni and cheese each person gets, consider asking, “How much of the whole pan of macaroni and cheese did each person get?”
Activity Synthesis
“How are the situations the same? How are they different?” (Both situations are about
\(\frac {1}{2}\)
a pan of macaroni and cheese, but this one has more people sharing it, so each person gets less macaroni and cheese. When 4 people share, each person gets
\(\frac {1}{8}\)
of the whole pan. When 5 people share, each person gets
\(\frac {1}{10}\)
of the whole pan.)
