Prepare with a purpose.
- Prepare four groups of three safe objects.
- Check the selected booklet section and its use of grouping, sharing or fractions.
- Label group count, group size and total separately.
Equipment and access
- Safe grouping objects
- Paper or board
Invite an explanation.
How many groups can you see?
What changes when twelve are shared between four groups?
What remains if equal whole-object grouping is not possible?
Notice, then ask.
- Listen for a distinction between the number of groups and the size of each group.
- Check that an arrangement and its multiplication/division expressions refer to the same total.
Consider another route.
- Let the learner arrange, point to or describe groups.
- Keep the whole explicit when moving to fractional parts.
