Chocolate as a Teaching Tool

A clever use of chocolate describes how an elementary teacher uses Hershey's chocolate bar to illustrate fractions.

"Michelle Lester, has been teaching 'chocolate fractions' to her students for a few years and said the students grasp the concept of fractions more easily with this idea.

"During chocolate fractions, Lester reads problems aloud from a book provided by the Hershey Corporation.

"Students have to figure out fractions by moving the individual pieces of the Hershey bar."

Now, if only someone would bring on chocolate calculus!
