Here are the steps of sharing a duet of bananas amongst a shape sum of kids...

Wasn't that easy?  It isn't necessary to honor what per centum each small-scale would get, but it may hold upward fun to come across if students would know how to as percentage the bananas.  Do y'all intend quaternary graders or fifty-fifty s graders would know that y'all could stair out them together with and then carve upward the measuring past times how many parts y'all need?

Some other ideas too using bananas is using Fruit past times the Foot or beef jerky.  I know y'all creative teachers out in that place tin brand about hands-on splitting lessons!
