In this book that tells the story of Ma, who bakes a dozen delicious cookies for her two children. However, when the doorbell rings repeatedly, more friends arrive, eager to share the treats. As the group grows, the challenge becomes dividing the cookies evenly among everyone. ( )

I use this children's book to introduce division math unit. A fun silly story about having made cookies to share but the doorbell keeps ringing, bring more people that they have to share with. Student's enjoy this story and gives a great sneak peek at division and it's usefulness in everyday life.
