Directions:

  • In the interactive below, answer the questions about the partitioned arrays.
  • Remember, equal shares of an array do not need to have the same shape.  

 

In Your Math Notebook

Let’s get out our math notebook and  work through the following application problem. Make sure you read the problem carefully, draw a picture to match your thinking and write an answer with numbers and words.

Read, Draw, Write, DONE!

R (Read the problem carefully.)

Mariel made a batch of her double chocolate- chunk cookies for her friends. She laid them on a pan in the array shown below.  How can she partition the cookies into equal shares, so that each of her 8 friends gets one- eighth of the cookies?

Cookie array. 4 rows of 6.

D (Draw a picture.)

W (Write an answer with numbers and words.)
