Practice Task Large Group/Partners Partitioning rectangles (area foundation) MGSE2.G.2 Through exploration, build multiple representations of 12 square units using square ties and record number of rows and columns for each model. Constructing Task Large Group/ Small Group Identify, label and compare fractions MGSE2.G.2 MGSE2.G.3 Apply knowledge of equal shares to cut ribbon into halves, thirds, and fourths and compare the fractional parts. Constructing Task Large Group/Small Group Identify, label, and compare fractions MGSE2.G.2 MGSE2.G.3 Work cooperatively to explain their process/strategy of portioning a whole into equal shares. Constructing Task Individual/partner Label and compare fractions MGSE2.G.3 MGSE2.MD.10 Model how to partition circles into halves, thirds, and fourths. Create a survey, collect data, and display the data in an appropriate graph. Culminating Task Individual Describe geometric figures Identify, label, and compare fractions MGSE2.G.1 MGSE2.G.2 MGSE2.G.3 Use knowledge of 2-D shapes to create a flag that has been partitioned into more than one part. Scaffolding Task Picture and Bar Graphing MGSE2.MD.10 Create a “real” graph using physical objects and discuss how to gain information from a graph. Students will answer questions based on a provided graph. If you would like further information about this unit, please view the Unit 5 Webinar on the Georgia DOE
Extension Students who demonstrate an understanding of the shapes presented in this lesson may combine shapes to form a number of different polygons, and name them, based on their understanding of shapes, or by researching the shapes. Intervention Students who have difficulty drawing the shape can choose from pre-cut shapes or build the shapes with tangram pieces and trace the shape. Use dot paper to assist students in drawing various shapes such as triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, etc. Use a geoboard to assist students in creating various shapes.

Provide the student with the questions and the survey so that their task is limited to collecting the information and recording the results. Provide students with shapes already divided up into the fractional shares halves, thirds, and fourths. These students should still select which they need to use, but they will not be physically partitioning them.

You recently received the following orders. Before filling the order by making the cookies, you like to confirm your order with a drawing for the customer. (If the toppings ordered do not cover an entire cookie, customers want the remaining portion of the cookie to be left plain.) Using the circle templates below, show how you would create each cookie with the correct fractional amounts of toppings. Share your illustrations with your teacher.
