Room for One More
Harry's lemonade is the best, made from a secret recipe handed down through generations, and he decides to use it to impress his friend Jennifer. He invites her over and makes just the right amount for two. Unfortunately, Jennifer brings her sister, her sister brings her boyfriend, and her boyfriend brings his cousins. Can Harry divide his lemonade-for-two between eight people ... and still have enough for romance?
Math Message: If you have an amount to share equally, the more equal shares, the smaller each share.

13 Ways to a Half
This activity allows the player multiple ways of viewing of half of a square that has been divided into eight parts. The player selects and fills each of four parts with color to create a type of "quilt square" pattern. To find 13 different representations of "half", the player must use a systematic way of selecting the design without repeating any previous ones, and the player must also recognize a rotation -- that is, if a pattern is repeated, but in a different position.
