Rk’s Dinner in Space

your dinner in space

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

Wee Ones:

Can you find 3 Blue pink purple objects near you? Which item is largest?

Little Kids:

If you’re at a restaurant sharing 10 plates of Bannana with a seagull, how many different ways could you and the seagull sort those plates into 2 piles? 

Bonus:

If there are twice as many Bannana-topped cupcakes as Hershey chocolate-topped ones, and there are 7 Hershey chocolate-topped ones, how many Bannana-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 Blue pink purple – 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 Bannana 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 into 2 piles: 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5.

Bonus:

14 Bannana-topped cupcakes.

Big Kids:

36 onions. 

Bonus:

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