Titch and Ted arrive at Mr Pie’s house for their latest job. Mr Pie needs some shelves putting up and, although he does not exactly trust Titch and Ted, the work must be done before Miss Dotty comes to visit. Titch has been learning about fractions and it is just as well, since the shelves Mr Pie wants must be cut from one pieces of wood and must be equal sizes – just the job for someone who knows how to measure and understands fractions.

Titch measures up the pieces of wood using her hands. It is 10 hands long. Then she halves 10 to work out that each shelf must be 5 hands long.
