Picture This! Ricardo has 4 friends over and his mom bakes 4 pizzas for them to have for lunch. Which part of a fraction will each friend get for lunch. Explain your thinking or justify with a model. 4/5 = 4 divided by 5 = .80 = 4/5 So each friend eats 4 out of 5 pieces of pizza. Make sure to draw it out as well.
Picture This Possible Solution Ricardo thinks 4 friends and myself equal a total of 5 friends sharing 4 pizzas. He decides to draw out 4 pizzas and divide them in to 4 equal parts. What did Ricardo conclude by drawing a model? Explain your reasoning?
Picture This 4. Angelina is baking cupcakes for a party. If she bakes 6 pans of cupcakes and uses 3 cups of chocolate chips in the recipe, what fraction of chocolate chips will be in each pan of cupcakes? Justify your thinking with a model. 3/6 = 3 divided by 6 = .50 or ½ cup per pan of cupcakes. Make sure to draw it out as well.
Picture This Possible Solution! Angelina thinks, I have 3 cups of chocolate chips and 6 pans of cupcakes. That equals 3/6 or 3 divided by 6. She models by drawing 3 cups divided into 6 equal parts and then sees that each pan has ½ cup of chocolate chips. Chocolate Chips 1 cup 2 cups 3 cups . Pan 1 Pan 3 Pan 5 Pan 2 Pan 4 Pan 6
Picture This 5. Fifth grade is taking a field trip. There are 176 students, 8 teachers and 4 chaperones. Each bus can take 80 passengers. How many buses are needed to take all the students, teachers and chaperones on the field trip? Explain.
Picture This Possible Solution. This student thinks I have 176 students + 8 teachers + 4 chaperones. That equals 188/80 or 188 divided by 80 passengers per bus. Bus 1 Bus 2 Bus 3 80 + 80 160 + 28 We need 3 buses to accommodate 188 total passengers.
