PROPORTIONAL REASONING

Fair Sharing Among Friends - I























 

 

Jamuni’s teacher suggested that instead of considering food packets, she can think about sharing cakes among the students. Jamuni thought it was a good idea and will make it easier. 

Before you start the activity make a folder in the Gallery and name it as “PR Unit 1”.  After you have distributed the cake fairly among all the children, take a Screenshot and upload iton the platform “ Gallery” in this folder that you have created called “ PR Unit 1”. For help about how to take a screenshot and upload watch the following video.

 

Click on the activity below to see how many cakes have to be shared among a number of students. Click on the demo button to see how to use the cutting tool for cutting cakes. Please have a notebook and pencil with you so that you can draw and work out the share of students if needed.
