The Doorbell Rang

Orientation: Link children's experience and what they already know about the project.

How many have eaten chocolate chip cookies? Do you like them? Do you ever share with your friends?

Demonstration: Based on the here and now, using the 5 senses

Read the story, and let them taste chocolate chip cookies. Other ideas may include making the cookies and smelling,tasting, watching them grow in oven, etc.

Broadening: relate to personal experience. Read story, pause the video, and ask them to divide the cookies in plate and count how many there will be.

Deepening: Make predictions, draw conclusions from what they have experienced.

Gide the children to conclude that the higher the number of people that they divide the total amount of cookies between, the smaller the number of cookies they will each get.
