Give each pair of students one glass with the ten paper rectangles and one set of labeled strips 2. The first student selects a paper strip and holds it around the bottom of the glass so that the second student cannot read the fraction written on the back. Students imagine that the paper represents milk poured into the glass. The first student asks how full the glass is. The second student answers by saying and writing a fraction 4.
Students check the answer on the back of the paper strip.
They then switch roles and start again 4. 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.
