Fraction Challenge

Challenge:  How can you equally divide 2 snack bars between 3 kids?  What do you call these pieces? We experimented with paper models and then enjoyed practicing on real treats.  We found out that there are many ways to solve this problem.  At home, ask your child to divide servings of food into equal parts.  Ask them to name the parts.  We have learned about halves, thirds and fourths.  We have noticed that as you divide wholes into more parts, these pieces get smaller.
