It's a busy morning at Danny's Diner, and his twin niece and nephew, Tina and Tony, are helping him out. There is a lot of work to do-there are tables to be set and food orders to take care of. The twins are overwhelmed. But when they put their multiplication skills to work, the diner runs better than ever! |
“Tony reached for the bread. 4 orders times 2 slices of white toast equaled 8 slices of white bread. 2 orders of 2 slices of wheat toast equaled 4 slices of wheat bread. Tony put the bread in the big toaster."”
