Unit 3, Lesson 4-- Fair Shares

Lesson 4-- Fair Shares

Introduction

Hello Mathematicians! Today we will think about dividing into fair shares.  Take a look at these two story problems.  What do you notice?  Can you draw a model for each of these problems?

I have 20 tickets to the carnival. Each ride requires 5 tickets. How many rides will I be able to go on? I have 20 tickets to the carnival. I share them equally between 5 friends. How many tickets will each friend receive?
