Wednesday!!!

Math is getting REALLY fun around here!  We are working on  Word Problems.  Here are the stories...

• There were 4 seal pups and 4 seal mothers on the rock.  The 4 mothers left to go eat.  How many seals were left on the rock? 
• There were 4 seal pups on the rock and 4 seal mothers searching for food in the water.  How many seals were there altogether?

And then it gets more interesting......

• There were 3 seal pups and 3 mother seals on the rock.  3 hungry sharks were swimming nearby.  How many sharks and seals together?
• 2 of those hungry sharks managed to grab 2 of the seal pups off the ricks.  How many seals were left on the rock?

Next we had whale calves swimming in shark infested water....it got REALLY interesting, and fun.  Of course we are working on listening for key elements of word problems, and solving word problems.  Yay math!!
