  1. Cookies by the Dozen By Keli Hausman

  2. Mark just sat gazing out the living room window. He had a sad look on his face as he watched his brother sell lemonade outside. His grandmother asked, “What’s wrong,why the sad face?”

  3. “I want to sell something! But Josh is already selling lemonade!” “Well,” said his grandmother, “Lets make something that you can sell with the lemonade Josh is selling.”

  4. “Like what?” asked Mark. “Hmmm, I know! What about cookies!” said his grandmother. So Mark and his grandmother went to the kitchen to make cookies.

  5. The cookies were piling up. Mark looked worried. “What’s the matter now?” asked his grandmother. “There are too many of them! I will never sell them all,” said Mark. “Well, sell them by the dozen,” his grandmother suggested. “By the what?” said Mark. “By the dozen,” his grandmother said again.

  6. “What is a dozen?” said Mark. “A dozen is twelve of something. When you go to the bakery to buy cookies they are sold by the dozen. A dozen cookies is the same as twelve cookies, and half a dozen cookies is the same as six cookies.” “Oh!” said Mark. “I see. A dozen is twelve of something and half a dozen is six of something.” 4 3 2 1 8 7 5 6 12 11 10 9 12 cookies = One dozen! 6 cookies = One half dozen!

  9. Come evening they were very tired. They had sold everything! EVERYTHING!

  10. 12 As Mark’s grandmother was tucking him into bed that night, he said, “Next weekend I want to sell cookies again, by the dozen! 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9- 10-11-12!” “Well I will have to teach you about a baker’s dozen.” With a surprised look on his face, Mark asked, “What’s that?”
