Cookies (and lots of them)

133 cookies to be exact!




Every year, I make a gift for each of Jacques employees.

This year, I made these cookies as a little 'add on' to their gifts.

Naturally,
the boys of the house were upset
that they saw ALL those cookies
but couldn't eat them.



So I told Noah to do a math problem
(division with a remainder)
which is something he had just learned this past week.


I told him to divide 20 into 133.

The answer:  6 (remainder) 13

He seemed a little confused, until I told him that the 'remainder'
was the amount of cookies THEY could eat!

And did he EVER like division with 'remainder' now!!!
