Summary:
When
Ma gave Sam and Victoria a dozen cookies to share, they were delighted. Then
the doorbell rang, and rang, and rang. As more children arrived, sharing
required other division problems so everyone would have equal amounts. The
final ring of the doorbell, however, brings good news.

This is a
great book to support a unit on multiplication, division, and fractions. It allows students to use manipulatives to
solve a real-world division problem: how
to divide up cookies among friends. It
also allows for differentiated group work based on skill level.
Classroom Ideas:
This book can be used to teach math concepts in multiplication, division, and fractions. Manipulative can be used to show how the cookies can be divided up both as whole number division problems and also as fractions. Students can role play as the division problems come up in the book and they can also work in groups to continue with the story using their own amounts of cookies or make up their own division stories using The Doorbell Rang as their guide.
