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