The Candy Bar Activity

To do this activity, we used a paper in replace of a candy bar. The objective of the task was to be able to break the candy into 12 equal pieces. In our group, which consists of Ruby and Alina, we decided that 4 breaks were enough to split the piece of candy bar into 12 equal pieces. We decided that each break just meant when we actually broke the candy, not by how many paper there was. We think that it wouldn't count if we were splitting them up in a pile all at once. That would take too much time and so we broke it half first and then broke it into 6 pieces. On out last break we broke it in half one more time with the papers piled together and made 12 equal pieces.
