Megan did page 94. She has done all the pages leading up to this and I will try to write them all up. On this page, she had to find out how many total babies a meerkat would have if they have 5 babies each year for seven years. She put 60 at first and then I helped her. I worked with her to realize that this was 7X5 or 5X7. Then, I wrote out seven 5's and had her skip count her way through this problem. When we were done, we skip counted by 7's.
The second problem was to determine a meerkat's total number of toes if he/she has four toes on each foot.
Megan reduce this to 8 times 2 . I told her this is the same as 8 + 8. She soon got the right answer.
