About Share Fairly
Treats wait in a pile above a row of children, with a division sum at the bottom. Your child works out how many treats each child gets so that everyone has the same. Cookies, apples, strawberries, candies and carrots take turns as the treat.

- Work out a fair share for each child and tap that number.
