The Numskulls and the Cake that Wouldn't Divide

By Ellis Greaves

Part of The Mathematical Mishaps of the Numskulls series

One cake. Seven Numskulls. Zero chance of sharing nicely.

The Numskulls only wanted a slice of cake.

What they got was a disaster with legs.

When a perfectly ordinary sponge cake refuses to be shared, chaos erupts in the Numskull household. Granddad demands crumb taxes, Uncle charges into battle, and Dog - well, Dog just wants to eat everything.

Enter the Fraction Monster, who insists on fairness. But can anyone make sense of halves, quarters, and eighths when bananas are fencing on the mantelpiece and biscuits are staging a revolt?

Packed with slapstick mayhem, cheeky humour, and just a sprinkle of maths, this is the first hilarious adventure in The Mathematical Mishaps of the Numskulls - where learning fractions is anything but sensible.
