They put a paper square on each plate. They keep 1 paper square nearby for a reminder of the size of the whole. The first student rolls the number cube, estimates and cuts the fraction rolled from the piece of paper on the appropriate plate. The second student takes a turn. If a student rolls a fraction that is more than what is left on the plate, then the remaining piece of paper can be removed from the plate.
Students do the listed worksheet independently.
Have students take out their Math Journal. Student is to write the fraction for each container and have them write WHY they chose their fraction. Pass out the Building Thinking Skills worksheet, to be collected the next day.
