Uncle Wolf Leaves Us Cookies...and a Math Investigation

On the 100th Day of School we read the book Wolf's Chicken Stew by Keiko Kasza.
The book is about a wolf who has a plan to fatten up a chicken for his dinner.  He leaves food on her doorstep to fatten her up--100 pancakes, a cake weighing 100 pounds, 100 doughnuts--but eventually he is found out and joins the chicken and her 100 hungry little chicks for dinner.  On the last page the wolf contemplates leaving 100 scrumptious cookies on their doorstep.

That afternoon we heard a knock on our door and look what we found!


We ended up having  a great afternoon trying to figure out how many cookies there really were and how many cookies each of us would get if there was really 100 cookies.


Luckily we found out that Uncle Wolf didn't leave us the cookies...Ariah's grandma and grandpa did!
