I think we all agree just how tasty maths can be these days! Our Marvelous, Munching, Maths, Monday was so good it spilled over to Tuesday and Wednesday!!
We had to solve many challenging problems before we could eat!
Try Lujain's Problem :
I made 18 cookies.
9 were with strawberry jam.
6 were with mixed fruit jam.
3 had sprinkles.
What is the fraction for each group of cookies? Remember to reduce, reduce, reduce!!
