Working with Fables

Fable 01

The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

Aesop

      
         Once upon a time a Town Mouse went on a visit to his cousin in the country. He was rough and ready, this cousin, but he loved his town friend and made him heartily welcome. Beans and bacon, cheese and bread, were all he had to offer, but he offered them freely. The Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country fare, and said: 
- I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country; come you with me and I will show you how to live. When you have been in town a week you will wonder how you could ever have stood a country life.
       No sooner said than done: the two mice set off for the town and arrived at the Town Mouse’s residence late at night. 
- You will want some refreshment after our long journey, -  said the polite Town Mouse, and took his friend into the grand dining-room. There they found the remains of a fine feast, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all that was nice. Suddenly they heard growling and barking. 
- What is that? -  said the Country Mouse. 
- It is only the dogs of the house - answered the other.
- Only! - said the Country Mouse. I do not like that music at my dinner.  
Just at that moment the door flew open, in came two huge mastiffs, and the two mice had to scamper down and run off. 
- Good-bye, Cousin,- said the Country Mouse, 
- What! going so soon? -  said the other. 
- Yes, - he replied;


        MORAL: "BETTER BEANS AND BACON IN PEACE THAN CAKES AND ALE IN FEAR.”

Remains,Won! - Math Game about Division


Material

36 cards numbered from 1 to 9 (4 of each value).
Paper and pencil for notes

Players

2 to 4 players

Rules

·         The cards should be shuffled and divided into three piles of 12 cards each, placed on the table with the numbers facing down. The numbers on the cards of 2 of these piles form the dividend, and the other will be the divisor.

 

·         The players decide who will start. Each player, in turn, chooses the mountains that form the dividend and the divisor and turns one card up of each pile to make the division. For example, if the numbers of the piles chosen to form the dividend is 2 and 4 and the number on the divisor pile is 3, it can be 24 ÷ 3 or 42 ÷ 3.

 

·         The rest of the division will determine the number of points that the player will make on that round. If the remainder is 0, the player does not score point.

 

·         Each round, the player writes down their points, example, the rest of the division, and discards the used cards.

 

·         When the cards run out of the piles, each player must add their points.

 

·         The winner will be the one who gets the most points at the end of the cards.
