Gummy Bear Challenge

Posted: March 15, 2013

This week the students were asked to guess how many gummy bears are in the package. Some of the students realized that they could figure out a number very close by looking at the back of the package. They noted that 14 gummy bears had a total of 38g. They also noted that there is a total of 350g in the package. The students are stuck. They can't seem to remember how to divide. They know they can figure out how many grams each bear is if they divide 38/14 but can't remember how. Theyir challenge this weekend is to work with the division and show their work. We will test out the gummy bears Monday :)
