Looking at 10







The students have created different art-projects for numbers in our class. Here is an example of how we can look at 10, while learning about sea creatures, specifically crabs. Crabs are interesting anim,als in so many ways. They have 10 legs in total, 5 one each side. Ask your child to explain how many legs 3 crabs have? Can your child use his/her math vocabulary and explain how many pairs of legs 3 crabs have? How about 5 crabs?
Here is a challenge question for you at home: If you see 70 crab legs on the beach, how many crabs are there? Please ask your child to justify his/her thinking and explain how he/she knows.
