• I can decide whether two groups are a fair share by checking they are exactly equal

• I recognise that one more in a group means the share is not fair

• I can count both groups to check when they look close

• I recognise that spreading out or bunching a group does not change whether the share is fair

• I can make an unfair share fair by moving objects, without adding or taking any away

Success Criteria

Lesson 1: Fair Share

We are learning that a fair share means each group has exactly the same amount.

• I can deal objects one at a time into each group, going around in the same order

• I can keep dealing until there are no objects left

• I can count how many are in each group and check the share is fair

• I recognise that we know the number of groups and find how many in each

• I can identify a leftover when a collection does not share fairly

• I recognise that sharing the same collection into more groups gives fewer in each group

Success Criteria

Lesson 2: Concrete Sharing

We are learning to share a collection fairly by dealing one at a time into a known number of groups.

• I can make groups of a stated size, one complete group at a time, until I cannot make another

• I can count how many groups I have made

• I recognise that we know the group size and find the number of groups

• I can identify a leftover when a collection does not group evenly

• I recognise that a bigger group size makes fewer groups from the same collection

• I can describe how grouping is different from sharing

Success Criteria

Lesson 3: Concrete Grouping

We are learning to make equal groups of a given size and find how many groups there are.
