Brilliant by Mistake | Cyberchase
In this Cyberchase video clip, the squad has 12 parts of a broken box and they must figure out how many cubes equal 1/3 of the box. They realize that 12 cubes make up the entire box, so they split these cubes into three equal groups, with four cubes in each one. The conclusion is that each group represents 1/3 of the box and that four cubes are 1/3 of 12. Students will be able to visualize the fact that 4/12 equals 1/3.
