The Teachers' Lounge







On Monday, we started a new unit called "The Teachers' Lounge." During this unit, we'll explore different situations and conversations that occur in the Teachers' Lounge. Here's our first one: 

Yesterday in the teacher’s lounge, I bumped into the woman that fills the vending machines.  One vending machine holds water, and the other vending machine holds juice.  I was curious about how many bottles the machines each held, and she told me that each machine holds 156 bottles!

The Water Machine

I noticed that there were a bunch of six packs next to the water vending machine—the woman had to tear the packs open in order to fill the machine.  That got me thinking.  I wonder how many six packs the machine will hold?

The Juice Machine

The other vending machine holds juice.  It also holds 156 bottles.  There are six different flavors of juice—apple, cranberry, lemonade, grapefruit, grape and orange.  The machine holds an equal amount of each kind of juice.  I was wondering how many bottles of each flavor fit in the juice machine when it is full?
