Equal sharing - Part 2

Stirling came up with this great problem. Have a go at figuring it out using equal sharing. Tell mum and dad I highly recommend that you use real pieces of chocolate! Don't eat it before you figure out the answer. Great job, Stirling!

The blocks of chocolate that we had to sell for the school had 21 pieces in them, me, my sister and my mum all wanted some - how did we divide it equally?

If 6 + 6 = 12 then what would 6 + 7 be?

7 is one more than 6 so ... 6 + 7 is one more than 12 which equals 13.
