  • How Heavy, How Full

    How Heavy, How Full
    19 Oct 2026

    Learning topics:

    • Capacity: measuring which jar holds more (short wide jar = 8 cupfuls beats tall thin jar = 6); "measuring beats guessing"
    • Mass vs volume: two equal-size crates — cork floats (small mass) vs anchor chain (great mass)
    • Time measured by counting: twenty cupfuls at ten counts each = 200 counts

    17 Oct 2026

    Learning topics:

    • Fractions to tenths: 3 of 10 steps under water = three tenths
    • Fraction–decimal equivalence, said aloud: "three tenths, written 3 over 10, is the same as 0.3"
    • Tenths as a measuring system: the beacon's glass gauge marked in ten parts, filled to seven tenths
    • Comparing tenths: 0.6 beats 0.3; 5/10 = 0.5 is a half

    Sharing the Catch
    11 Oct 2026

    Learning topics:

    • Division as fair sharing: 49 ÷ 4 = 12 with 1 left over
    • Sharing in rounds (10 each, then 2 each) and checking by multiplication (4 × 12 + 1 = 49)
    • Division as grouping: 12 full groups of 4 from 49, 1 left over
    • Equal shares as a story condition (the door opens only for equal baskets)
