Teacher Notes (not visible to pupils)
Note- Although I think students enjoy the personal touch of their own teacher's example, you are welcome to use my example. We are in Hawai`i where "Uncle" is a respectful term for male adults, and so my students know my husband as "Uncle Stbon." This activity was assigned after students had lessons on modeling number stories, noticing the connection between fractions and division, and practiced making these kinds of fraction number stories. This activity is meant as a formative assessment and to share this concept with their families. Mahalo!
