Tao, Jacob and Declan Bake Chocolate Afghans

A delicious aroma was in the air on Friday as Tao, Jacob and Declan made chocolate afghan biscuits for their project learning. We love baking in Kohara as it provides an authentic context for putting our measuring skills into practise - reading fractions (e.g. 1/2 a cup) and following the steps in sequence.

It also posed an interesting maths problem for Kohara to ponder...
Tao, Jacob and Declan made 14 afghan biscuits. How many biscuits do they each get? What should they do with the leftover ones that can't be shared equally?

Kohara worked out that they could each have 4 afghans as 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
They would then have 2 left as 12 + 2 = 14.
They decided that Declan's mum should have the spares since she came along to help them.

Great team work boys!
