We use these types of lessons with our 2nd and 3rd graders. A big reminder is that we must have ‘a whole’ to use as a reference. If we took brownies out of the pan and put it in the dishwasher and then cut it into 8 pieces, and removed 3 pieces, there is no way to know what fraction of the brownies is left. (were there 10 pieces to start, 12? 14? )
