We stumbled on another book that is SUPER "MATHY"...so here's to Minnie's Diner:
As each brother (or papa) comes to the diner, they double the order of the previous brother. If the first brother orders one of Minnie's specials (which includes, 1 soup, 1 salad, 1 sandwich with fries and for dessert 1 hot cherry pie), how many specials are ordered if 4 more brothers and a papa comes and orders at Minnie's diner?
Recently my boys and I took a trip to the library and picked up this treasure by David M. Schwartz. WE LOVE IT !!! And it is a GREAT MATH BOOK! So here is a fun problem you should try! GOOD LUCK!!!
A Hershey's chocolate bar with almonds is roughly 12.5 centimeters long. The almonds measure approximately 2 centimeters long. Suppose you are eating a chocolate bar at night outside of a shopping mall that is 500 meters long. You see a shooting star and naturally you make a wish..."I wish that my Hershey chocolate bar (with almonds of course) was the size of this shopping mall." POOF! Your chocolate bar is now 500 meters long...how long is each almond?
