Hafsa’s Dinner in Space

your dinner in space

You’re super excited for dinner tonight: Chinese Food is on the menu! But oh no: Chinese Food comes topped with Lasnga. You don’t want to hurt the chef’s feelings, so you sneak every bit of Lasnga off the plate and launch it into the sky on a Light blue hot air balloon. But Lasnga doesn’t fly far before a hungry seagull gobbles it up. Problem solved, dinner served!

Wee Ones:

Can you find 3 Light blue objects near you? Which item is largest?

Little Kids:

If you’re at a restaurant sharing 10 plates of Lasnga with a seagull,, how many different ways could you and the seagull share those plates?

Bonus:

If there are twice as many Lasnga-topped cupcakes as Chinese Food-topped ones, and there are 7 Chinese Food-topped ones, how many Lasnga-topped cupcakes are there?

Big Kids:

You’re opening your own restaurant and order a big box of 72 onions! But 1/2 of the onions are Light blue – that can’t be good. How many onions do you need to toss in the compost?

Bonus:

Oh no! The onion people also keep delivering 4 1/2 pound boxes of Lasnga every Wednesday this May. How many pounds does that add up to for the month?

 

Answers:
Wee Ones:

Different for everyone!

Little Kids:

There are 5 ways that you and the birds could split 10 plates: 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5.

Bonus:

14 Lasnga-topped cupcakes.

Big Kids:

36 onions. 

Bonus:

22 1/2 pounds, because there are 5 Wednesdays in May this year.
