FAIR SHARES
A worksheet on fair shares-
You could have them do the sheet and show how they solved the problem with pictures/manipulatives. http://www.teachervision.fen.com/tv/printables/scottforesman/Math_1_PS_5-7.pdf
This is a really cute interactive fair share lesson- you could put it up on TV and show them how you are passing the crayons out.

Give each students four cups or containers. Tell them that you are going to give them a set of objects. (Use any manipulatives) Tell the students that you are having a party and there are four children all together at your house. Tell them that each child needs to have exactly the same number of objects to be fair. Have them manipulate materials until they have used all objects given to them. Some students will place one for one in each cup, some will be able to put two at a time in each cup and some will be able to spread the materials out and manually separate them until "children at the party" have the same number of items. This skill will need to be repeated weekly for the rest of the year. Vary the number of "children at the party" and even add the more difficult task of saying, "If you have four sets of objects: 6, 9, 7, and 3. Which set can be shared fairly between two children?"
I think I might redo this lesson, but with real of laminated cookies!
A great book to use to act out and practice Fair Share is "The Doorbell Rang" by Pat Hutchins. After reading through the story once, give children name tags to act out the story. Select children to play the roles of Ma, each of the children, and Grandma. (The children who don't have a part can be the audience. They can have their turn in the second acting out). Either laminate 12 construction paper cookies as props in the play or better yet, use real cookies. In the story, as more kids come into the kitchen, the cookies have to be divided more and more times so that everyone has a fair share. The children really get excited and become a part of the story as the cookies are divided and divided again. Initially the 4 children each have 3 cookies. By the end of the story, there are 12 children and each child gets one cookie!
