What is a Fair Share?

A question we thought about at Kings Heath Primary School After-School Club.  What is a fair share?  We looked at what we thought was important, and initially, whether things were equally shared in our group.  Then we thought about the wider world and how things were shared, as well as what we thought was fair, and unfair.

Two people in our group did not have breakfast.
How many people in the world do not have enough food to eat?
Who has a games console in the group?

What we thought distribution of games consoles was like in the world
In the world, 1 person has a computer, 9 do not.
In our group, 15 people had a computer, 1 did not
Fairness at School - who got a detention for something they didn't do?
