Here are some of our classmates' thinking about why the size of the whole matters. Please leave a comment about their thinking:
-How does their thinking connect to your thinking?
-How does their thinking change your thinking?
-What questions do you have for them?
-What do you think they did well?
See my example in the comments section for guidance.
Jenna, your visual model connects to my thinking about how the size of the whole can be different. I like that you gave an example connected to cakes. I wonder how half of those cakes wouldn't be equal? Can you show that?

ReplyDeleteAayushi, your thinking is connected to mine because I drew a model of 2 different sizes of model too. You did well on showing your work clearly by drawing a model.
ReplyDeleteCathy, I liked your way of thinking because it connected to mine and you explained it clearly.
ReplyDeleteMy thinking connects to Aayushi's because if it's different size then it's not equal. Aayushi's did well on explaining because she did short sentences. Also that I can understand and a drawing/model.
ReplyDeleteMy thinking is connected to my classmates thinking because I also talked about the sizes of 2 different wholes not being equal. I think that they did a good job and I agree when they say it matters.
ReplyDeleteI think in Alice's work, I saw her talking about equivalent fractions and she had of them had a model. In my opinion I think me and Alice had a similar thinking.
ReplyDeleteAayushi, Your thinking connects to my thinking about if the sizes of wholes matter. I like how you gave a example about pizza. What else examples can you give?
ReplyDeleteI like how you put it in words, pictures and numbers. it connects to my thinking because I put mostly pictures in my exit slip to, it changes my thinking because I thought there was only one way, pictures, but now I don't. How long did it take?
ReplyDeleteCathy, your explaining connects mine that you can't compare a really small whole to big one.
ReplyDeleteJenna your thinking connects to my thinking i agree that the size dose mater. I also think you should make an example. If the big cake is one whole how is the smaller cake one whole.
