Kitchen Math: Partitioning

What do you notice?
  • Today’s kitchen math discussion: “What do you notice?”
  • Next Inquiry: “What don’t you know?”
  • Investigation: Materials: paper/pencils/colored pencils/crayons or family learning journals (back of journal). Remind them to turn to the next available page and date it. Ask them to write the name for today’s kitchen math.
  • Inquire: “How would you decide how many slices of a whole banana you would need for 3 people?”  “What would you need to know before you started slicing the banana?”   “What if the banana wasn’t long enough for everyone to receive the same number of slices, what could you do?” *Let them have 5-6 minutes to draft their thoughts (without talking). When they are finished, have them share how they came to their conclusions.
  • Kitchen Lab: Discuss: “What type of fruit do you have in your pantry that you could discover if your reasoning is accurate? *Invite them to investigate their solutions: “Let’s investigate!”
