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