Bianca Hallo-whines
October 31st is Bianca's favorite day of the year. Not only is it Halloween, it's also her birthday! This year, no more trick-or-treating for Bianca; she plans to enjoy a grown-up evening of dinner and dancing with her boyfriend. Unfortunately her plans are disrupted when she's stuck looking after her young friends Erica and Leah, and taking them trick-or-treating. Bianca is grumpy all night long, until Erica and Leah come up with an idea to cheer her up: they divide their Halloween treats into three equal groups so that they can give Bianca a birthday present of candy.
Math Message: When you need to divide some items equally among a number of people, you can hand out several items at a time to each person until you find the number that each person gets.
