1. INTRODUCTION
How many body parts make up an ant? Do you know?
1. Head
2. Abdomen
3. Thorax
If we need 3 body parts for each ant we are going to make, and we
have 26 students in our class, how many body parts will we need all
together?
I wonder if I have enough cartons to make the ants today? Lets find
out.
2. GUIDED DISCOVERY I found egg cartons in my recycling, but they are
all different sizes.
I have: (Show the students)
5 cartons made for 12 eggs
2 cartons made for 6 eggs
1 carton made for 18 eggs
Do we have enough egg cartons to make them today?
How many will we need?
How are we going to solve this problem?
What strategies can we use? Have students focus in on the help
cards displayed in the room. Briefly discuss.
Is there anything else you could do?
Could you use the open number line we used yesterday for
counting coins?
Whos got a strategy they like? And Why?

and what number they came up with).
Do we have enough egg cartons to make them today?
How many will we need?
How did you solve this problem?
