TWEEN TRIBUNE

Grade 6 Fractions

A Sixth-grade class traveled on a ﬁeld trip in four separate cars. The

school provided a lunch of submarine sandwiches for each group. When

they stopped for lunch, the subs were cut and shared as follows:

• The ﬁrst group had 4 people and shared 3 subs equally.

• The second group had 5 people and shared 4 subs equally.

• The third group had 8 people and shared 7 subs equally.

• The last group had 5 people and shared 3 subs equally.

When they returned from the ﬁeld trip, the children began to argue that the distribution of sandwiches had not been fair, that some children got more to eat than the others. Were they right? Or did everyone get the same amount?

SHOW ALL WORK ON CHART PAPER INCLUDING WHERE THE SUBS SHOULD BE CUT

-A lot of people are wearing white including person holding trophy

I Know....

-It's sunny there (hats)
-Player has won championship match (raising trophy, crowd is taking pictures)
-Match takes place at Wimbledon (Players must wear white, I recognize Wimbledon trophy)

I Infer....

- Andy Murray (my background knowledge) has just won the Men's Wimbledon Championship
