You’re super excited for dinner tonight: pink robin is on the menu! But oh no: pink robin comes topped with meadow lark. You don’t want to hurt the chef’s feelings, so you sneak every bit of meadow lark off the plate and launch it into the sky on a royal blue hot air balloon. But meadow lark doesn’t fly far before a hungry seagull gobbles it up. Problem solved, dinner served!
Can you find 3 royal blue objects near you? Which item is largest?
If you’re at a restaurant sharing 10 plates of meadow lark with a seagull, how many different ways could you and the seagull sort those plates into 2 piles?
If there are twice as many meadow lark-topped cupcakes as pink robin-topped ones, and there are 7 pink robin-topped ones, how many meadow lark-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 royal blue – 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 meadow lark 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 into 2 piles: 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5.
14 meadow lark-topped cupcakes.
36 onions.
22 1/2 pounds, because there are 5 Wednesdays in May this year.
