Oscar wants to enter a contest--and another, and another - but he can only do it by asking some friends to divide the costs--and the rewards - with him. Simple division concepts are incorporated into this story for young readers. |
“Each ticket was 12 dollars. Oscar only had 6 dollars. Hugo would have split a ticket with him. But Hugo was away for the weekend.”
