My gran gave me a big bar of chocolate
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!
Now, I’m a chocoholic so I shared it with myself,
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!

Twenty-four shared by one is twenty-four.

Then up comes Lewis, ‘I just LOVE chocolate,
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!’
That’s two chocoholics, twenty-four pieces,
How many pieces each now?

Twenty-four shared by two is twelve.

Then up comes Laxmi, ‘I just LOVE chocolate,
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!’
That’s three chocoholics, twenty-four pieces,
How many pieces each now?

Twenty-four shared by three is eight.

Then up comes Luke, ‘I just LOVE chocolate,
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!’
That’s four chocoholics, twenty-four pieces,
How many pieces each now?

Twenty-four shared by four is six.

Then up comes Leah, ‘I just LOVE chocolate,
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!’
That’s five chocoholics, twenty-four pieces,
How many pieces each now?

Twenty-four shared by five is four remainder four.

Then up comes Lee, ‘I just LOVE chocolate,
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!’
That’s six chocoholics, twenty-four pieces,
How many pieces each now?

Twenty-four shared by six is four.

Then up comes Lara, ‘I just LOVE chocolate,
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!’
That’s seven chocoholics, twenty-four pieces,
How many pieces each now?

Twenty-four shared by seven is three remainder three.

Then up comes Leroy, ‘I just LOVE chocolate,
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!’
That’s eight chocoholics, twenty-four pieces,
How many pieces each now?

Twenty-four shared by eight is three.

My gran gave me a big bar of chocolate
Twenty-four pieces! Wow!
