Assess students' ability to evaluate and choose the fairest method to share 7–12 discrete objects among 3–4 children. Students should model distributions with manipulatives or drawings, compare equal-share strategies (one-by-one, grouping), decide how to handle remainders (unequal shares, leftovers, rotation, shared extras), and justify their chosen strategy using counting, simple division/subtraction, and child-appropriate explanations. Require comparison of at least two strategies and a clear statement of the fairness criteria used.
