1. Abandoned Chocolate Bars

Charlie left some Fair Trade chocolate bars in an empty

classroom.

Larry, Moe, and Curly found them later that day. Larry sorted

them into 3 equal piles, and took one of the piles. Moe sorted

the remainder into 4 equal piles and took one of the piles.

Then Curly took half of the remaining chocolate bars.

When Charlie returned, there were only 9 chocolate bars where he had left them!

Moe and Curly wondered how many chocolate bars there were to begin with. Moe

thought there were 48 chocolate bars. Curly thought there had been 36 chocolate

bars.

Work out your solution here.

I think that Moe Curly is correct, because:

2. In Pursuit of Chocolate

Coco and Lottie will go anywhere in their pursuit of good

sources of cocoa beans for their fair trade chocolate

enterprise. They were given instructions on how to find the

Chocolatté cooperative in Costa Rica.

They started out hiking along a riverbed that was 29 metres

above sea level. They climbed 65 metres higher, then

descended down a very steep slope into a valley 110 metres below. After

following the valley path, they climbed up a height of 22 metres to the cocoa trees.

Work out your solution here.

The elevation of the cocoa trees was _____________ metres.

Cocoa trees grow best in the shade of other trees. When very young, they require deep shade. As they mature, they require more filtered sunlight. Farmers plant a shade umbrella of taller trees to shelter their cocoa trees. Shade-grown cocoa trees can produce fruit for 75 to 100 years or more.

3. Are You Smarter than a Seventh Grader?

Julius was a contestant on the brand new TV show “Are you Smarter than a

Seventh Grader? “

He was given the statements 73 = 343 and 70 = 1 and asked to explain whether

they were true or false. He had no idea!

You, the Grade 7 math consultant, were asked to tell him the correct answer and

explain the reasoning behind it.

You tell Julius:

Yes, it is true that 73 = 343 and 70 = 1

It is true that 73 = 343, but 70 = 1 is not true; in fact 70 = ________

It is true that 70 = 1, but 73 = 343 is not true; in fact 73 = ________

No, it is not true that 73 = 343 and it is not true that 70 = 1.

In fact 70 = ________ and 73 = ________

Show or explain how you found your answer.

Two isosceles triangles: each has a height of 2 cm and an area of 2 cm2.

A rectangle: its area is 6 cm2.

A trapezoid: its bases are 5 and 3 cm and height is 2 cm.

“Giri Choco" is a Japanese custom which means "Duty Chocolate". It calls for employees to give chocolates to their managers as a token of loyalty.

5. Chocolate Business

Amelia and Ted decided they wanted to try making chocolate to sell at their bake sale.

They know the standard chocolate bar has a surface area of 48 cm2, so they decided to

keep this area. However, they would like to investigate possible ways of presenting the

same area, with different geometric shapes (examples: rectangle, triangle, trapezoid,

parallelogram).

Show your work.
