Situations with $\frac34$ and $\frac12$

This Instructional Activity is a part of the Lesson 16, Unit 4, Grade 6. This activity offers an additional opportunity for students to make sense of word problems, set up an appropriate representation, use that representation for reasoning, and estimate before solving. Students are presented with four situations that involve only fractions. Two of them require multiplication to solve, and the other two require division. Students decide which operation is needed to answer each question, and before solving, estimate the answer based on the given context.
