3 people share 9 marbles. 1) How many marbles does each person get? 2) What fraction of the marbles did each person get?
1)3 because 9 marbles divided by 3 people equals 3 marbles per person. 2)1/3 or 3/9 because if you split the marbles up into 3 equal groups, there are three in each group. One person would receive one group of three, so they would receive 1/3 of the marbles.

On your white board, draw 14 circles. Shade 5/7 of the circles. How many are shaded?
10 (If I split 14 circles up into 7 equal groups, there are 2 in each group. I would have 7 groups of 2. oo oo oo oo oo oo oo If I shade 5/7 of the circles, that would be 5 groups. Since each group has 2 circles, 5x2=10.) You could also say that for every 7 circles you have, 5 are shaded.

Marcus and Kaylee are playing Equivalent Fractions with their fraction number cards. Marcus is trying to find a card to match 4/6. He pulls 8/12 and sets it down next to 4/6. Kaylee pulls 2/3 and picks up all of the cards. Which player made a mistake?
Marcus. He should have taken 4/6 and 8/12 because if you multiply both the denominator and numerator in 4/6 by the number 2, you end up with 8/12. They are equivalent. Kaylee was right to pick up all of the cards because if you multiply the denominator and numerator in 2/3 by the number 2, you end up with 4/6.

Write the following mixed number as an improper fraction: 2 1/4
9/4 (If I am splitting my group up into fourths, I know that I have 1/4 from my fraction. Now I need to look at my whole number (2). I know that there are 4 fourths in one whole, so there must be 8 fourths in two wholes. When I add the 8/4 to my 1/4, I get 9/4.)
