A For the purposes of this assignment, I selected a ten-year-old fourth grade boy to interview. The child expressed an interest in helping me with the project and told me that he liked math, especially fractions. I was eager to work with this selected student because I had already observed through day-to-day homework help that he struggled in connecting mathematical procedures with word problems.

After I asked how many pieces each child would get, he said six. After I asked him to show me he realized that each child would get more than a whole burrito, which did not make sense with his previous attempts. He then suddenly stated that each child gets four out of five pieces. When I asked how he knew that, he said that you split the burrito into five pieces because there were five people splitting the burritos. He reasoned that each person gets one piece from each burrito; you can repeat this process four times before using all the burrito
