This task uses language, "half of the stamps," that students in Grade 5 will come to associate with multiplication by the fraction 12. In Grade 3, many students will understand half of 120 to mean the number obtained by dividing 120 by 2. For students who are unfamiliar with this language the task provides a preparation for the later understanding that a fraction of a quantity is that fraction times the quantity.
