Equal sharing and equal groups use drawings to represent and solve fair-share problems that involve 2 and 4 sharers, respectively, and have remainders of 1 or 2 represent and solve equal-group problems where the total number of items is no more than 10, including problems in which each group is a half, using tools and drawingsB1.6
B2.5
Halves, thirds, fourths and eighths recognize that one half and two fourths of the same whole are equal, in fair-sharing contexts use drawings to compare and order unit fractions representing the individual portions that result when a whole is shared by different numbers of sharers, up to a maximum of 10B1.7
