Picnicking with Fractions

Story Context
Through the use of a story about a picnic, students were provided a context to solve an open-ended question. 

I played this video for my second graders as a hook. I find embedding a math problem in the context of a story makes solving problems more fun and gives students more to visualize.

Show Evidence 
Students were learning the difference between parts of a whole and parts of a group.
