Isaac and Luca each bought candy bars with the $8 money. Isaac ate 1/2 of his candy bar and Luca ate 1/4 of his candy bar. Luca said no fair, Isaac has more candy left. How is this possible?
(First solve what fraction is left of the candy bars, then see how Isaac could have more candy still)
Isaac has 1/2 left, Luca has 3/4 left
Isaac could have more candy still if his candy bar is bigger than Luca's
Isaac's = [ ]
Luca's = [ ]

The party was a big success! The class liked it so much they wanted to celebrate by giving them ice cream. They each had the same size ice cream containers. If Isaac ate 6/10 of his ice cream, Luca 5/10, and Miranda 9/10 of her ice cream, how many total containers of ice cream did they eat altogether?
6/10 + 5/10 + 9/10 =
20/10 = 2
