You’re super excited for dinner tonight: mac and cheese is on the menu! But oh no: mac and cheese comes topped with sweet potatoes. You don’t want to hurt the chef’s feelings, so you sneak every bit of sweet potatoes off the plate and launch it into the sky on a green hot air balloon. But sweet potatoes doesn’t fly far before a hungry seagull gobbles it up. Problem solved, dinner served!
Can you find 3 green objects near you? Which item is largest?
If you’re at a restaurant sharing 10 plates of sweet potatoes with a seagull,, how many different ways could you and the seagull share those plates?
If there are twice as many sweet potatoes-topped cupcakes as mac and cheese-topped ones, and there are 7 mac and cheese-topped ones, how many sweet potatoes-topped cupcakes are there?
You’re opening your own restaurant and order a big box of 72 onions! But 1/2 of the onions are green – that can’t be good. How many onions do you need to toss in the compost?
Oh no! The onion people also keep delivering 4 1/2 pound boxes of sweet potatoes every Wednesday this May. How many pounds does that add up to for the month?
Different for everyone!
There are 5 ways that you and the birds could split 10 plates: 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5.
14 sweet potatoes-topped cupcakes.
36 onions.
22 1/2 pounds, because there are 5 Wednesdays in May this year.
