Abstract
This chapter, using data from Session 3 of the intervention, focuses on the students’ initial reasoning when comparing fractions. The investigation begins with a context about sharing candy bars presented as a real-life dilemma by Researcher Carolyn Maher. The discussion posed the question of equity when sharing different-sized candy bars.
