Task Description, development, and discussion (sMP 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) In this task, students will discover different ways a plot of land can be divided to share equally among Uncle John’s nieces and nephews. Students have the option of dividing it between 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 people. They may circle the number they are using for the task. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS Have you shown all of the different ways you could divide the parcel of land? How do you know? How would we do this task with other shapes? Looking at your different solutions, how are they alike? How are they different? .Why did you decide to divide the land this way? DIFFERENTIATION Extension Students can determine how to divide the parcel of land between five people. Intervention Students may only divide the parcel of land between 4 students. Uncle John has a parcel of land that measures 6 miles by 4 miles. In his will, he left the land to be divided equally among his (2, 3, 4, 6, or 8) nieces and nephews. However, he forgot to partition the land. Please help the nieces and nephews determine which parcel of land is theirs. Be sure to give everyone an equal amount of land. Use the blueprint below to help you. How much land did Great Uncle John leave his nieces and nephews? What does each person’s share look like? How do you know that each person’s is equal?
