This lesson is focused on 5.NF.B.3: interpreting fractions as division of the numerator by the denominator, in the context of a real world problem. Students work to solve how to share 3 cups of ice cream equally among 4 people. They use manipulatives and strategies of their choosing to solve the problem with small groups. Core Actions 1 and 2 are strongly illustrated by this lesson.
