Filling up on Apples is a problem created for fifth graders on fraction addition and comparing fractions. In the task, two people eat multiple fraction amounts of apples and students are to use equivalent fractions and knowledge of fraction addition to determine how many apples were eaten. Scaffolding is used to break down the fractions and allow students to work on the problem one step at a time. Students are asked, through argumentation language, to critique the response on who ate more apples and show justification.
