The Doorbell Rang.....Division

We read the book 'The Doorbell Rang' written by Pat Hutchins and realised that each time the doorbell rang the children in the story used division to share the cookies evenly with their guests.

We then used the dialogue from the story to complete our own division equations. We used counters to represent the cookies, then drew them and completed the written equation.

We later went to challenge ourselves more by using a larger amount of cookies that did not share evenly. The students realised they could use their fraction knowledge to share all the cookies out evenly.

Maths is always around us!
