Take the Cake

Take the Cake is an activity in JumpStart Math for Kindergartners.

Description
Baker Jake's bakers need help preparing cupcakes for Guthry's birthday party. A baker will ask for a certain type of cupcake, and specify the number of that type of cupcake they want. Then the player must pick out the right cupcakes when they appear from behind the oven doors, and place them on the baker's plate. The oven doors periodically open and close, so the player must be quick enough to click on the cupcakes while the doors are still open.

Difficulty level differences

 * Level 1: Only two bakers are present while the cake and frosting are the same (in that case, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry), and the toppings aren't shown. Additionally, the bakers only mention the cake part.
 * Level 2: Three bakers are present.
 * Level 3: All bakers are present, as well as all cake and frosting flavors, including the toppings.

Digital manual description
These giant-sized cupcakes are so big you need a whole oven to bake just one! Before the bakers can take the giant cupcakes to Guthry's party, help Baker Jake take them out of the ovens and sort them by flavor.

SKILLS: Solving Problems, Sorting, Data Analysis, Using Logic
 * Listen to the bakers. They'll tell you the kind of cupcake they want you to grab and how many they need.
 * When the oven doors open, click on the cupcakes that match the baker's requests before the doors close.
 * Repeat the procedure for all other bakers.
 * When all the cupcakes have been collected, answer the questions about them. When all the questions are answered, the bakers will carry the cupcakes to Guthry's party.
