What it is
A basket of cookies, sandwiches or muffins sits in front of a row of hungry friends. Children drag treats onto plates, or tap a plate to give it one, until the share is fair. In the older track some treats are left over, and some picnics need a treat cut in half so everyone gets exactly the same.
What children learn
Builds equal sharing as the foundation of division: dealing one at a time, checking that groups are equal, recognising when what is left is too few to share (remainders), and sharing a whole into halves.
What it teaches
