Summary: This
book is about Ma (mom) who makes a batch of a dozen chocolate chip cookies for
her children Victoria and Sam. Each child has six cookies. But when the
doorbell rings and friends drop by, Victoria and Sam are expected to share the
cookies. But the doorbell continues to ring again, and again, and again...until
there is only one cookie per child.
Rating: **** This is a great way of incorporating
math into a story, it is a rhythmic, and repetitive narrative. The way in which
the cookies are divided based on the number of children is easy to understand
by providing an interesting way of introducing children to the concept of
fractions and divisions.
Classroom Ideas: This book can be used to teach mathematical concepts in
multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, and fractions. The two children sit down to enjoy a
plate of cookies, but the doorbell keeps ringing and they must figure out how
to divide the cookies so they can share with their friends, demonstrating the
relationship between the concepts of fractions and division.
Students could begin by acting out the
role of each character (Ma, Victoria, Sam, Tom, Hannah, Peter and his little
brother, Joy, Simon, cousin 1, cousin 2, cousin 3 and cousin 4) using large
cutout cookies students are able to model the division situation. As the teacher reads aloud students can divide
the cookies as the doorbell rings.
Students can also use manipulatives (connecting
cubes, baby bear counters) to represent the characters of the story and use
m&m or skittles as cookies. Students get 12 m&m and 2 bears or cubes at
first. Dividing the cookies equally each bear will have 6 cookies. But then 2
more bears come, and we have to dived them evenly. We continue to add bears
until each bear has 1 cookie.
