Leo’s Fair Share: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 1. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

share: Give parts of something to different people.
equal: The same amount or number.
fewer: A smaller number.
empty: With nothing inside.
groups: Sets of things together.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Tell why Leo’s first share was unequal and how the children made equal groups. Share six large objects among three toy plates, giving one to each plate in rounds. Count each group and explain whether the shares are equal.
