Five questions for students to answer individually to get at their initial thinking about such fractions. They are to be prepared to explain their reasoning to their peers, using pictures, diagrams, or stories to justify their answers. After recording their initial ideas, the students will get together in groups to compare answers and try to reach consensus. They will also need to decide how they will try convincing other members of the class that their

answers are correct.
