Collect a digit at each math activity to solve the puzzle below!
(for students in grades Kindergarten, 1, and 2.)
How many dozens of eggs are in the refrigerator? Follow the clues to find out!
a.
Each of the digits you collected shows a number of eggs
that went into the refrigerator. (They should be 4 eggs, 1 egg,
5 eggs, 9 eggs, 2 eggs, and 6 eggs.) Use drawings and/or
numbers in the space below to help you find the total
number of eggs that are now in the refrigerator.
1 2 3 4
5
6
7
8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27
OR 4 + 1 = 5, 5 + another 5 = 10, 10 + 9 more = 19, 19 + 2 more = 21
and finally 21 + 6 more = 27 eggs in the refrigerator!
b. The below rectangle is split into parts like the inside of an egg carton. There
are 12 parts because it takes 12 eggs to make 1 dozen. Use your above work
and the space below to decide how many dozen you can make from the total
number of eggs. Will there be any extra eggs that are not part of a dozen?
I can fill up 2 dozen cartons. I will have 3 eggs left over.
