They thought that they were going to just play with Oreos. They didn't realize they were going to learn something about measurement, collaboration, density, estimation, cooperation, organization skills, earth layers, and much more. Before we began this adventure, the students estimated how many cookies were in one package of Oreos. I opened the package and the students realized it was packed like an array. The bag contained 3 rows of 15 cookies. The students were able to use the multiplication strategy they learned that week to figure that there was 45 cookies in the package. The students compared their estimation to the actual number and determined whether they were high, low, or just right. media type="custom" key="4451483"

Today our class participated in a worldwide internet project. It's called the O.R.E.O Project. The task is to see how many Oreo cookies each student can stack one on top of the other.

**The rules were simple:** The rules were simple: 1. Each student will have 2 attempts to create a cookie stack. 2. Students will place one cookie on the paper plate/table cloth and then add one cookie at a time to the stack. Their partner will tally cookies as they are stacked. 3. Students may NOT adjust the cookie after they have placed the cookie on the stack and moved their hand away. Cookies need to be freestanding and NOT leaning against any kind of support. 4. A tumble has occurred once 3 or more cookies have tumbled on the stack. The complete stack DOES not need to completely tumble for it to be called a tumble.
