Instructional Technology and the ClassroomClassroom: A Baker’s Dozen for the Teacher Michael Simonson Program Professor Instructional Technology and Distance Education Fischler School

Baker’s Dozen? In the mid-13th century, British law imposed strict regulations on bakers regarding the weight of bread. Bakers wanted to make sure they complied, since the penalties were severe. It was difficult to make loaves of uniform weight in those days before automation, so bakers added a 13th loaf to every shipment of 12--better to be overweight than under. Thus "a baker's dozen" meant 13.
