It is all about sharing (fair shares among brothers and sisters really IS important). They practiced sharing gummy worms with differing amounts of color/flavor segments in different ways. A2 demonstrates two distinct interpretations of one kind of sharing (but with the same result in how much of a segment of flavor or how many segments of flavor each person gets). The top one in A2 shows sharing 6 whole flavor segments, then dividing the remaining two flavor segments into 6 smaller but equal sections. Each person would get one whole flavor segment and 1 /3 of another segment (1 1/3 segments). The second one in A2 shows dividing each segment into thirds, and then doling those out evenly. Each person would get 1/3+1/3+1/3+1/3 or 11/3 segments.
Tomorrow, we throw a monkey wrench into the plan and make it NOT FAIR SHARES. I can hear the siblings complaining now!
