One is a Snail Ten is a Crab by April Pulley Sayre and Jeff Sayre. Illustrated by Randy Cecil If one is a snail, and two is a person … we must be counting by feet! Children will love this hilariously illustrated introduction to simple counting and multiplication with big feet and small – on people and spiders, dogs and insects, snails and crabs – from one to one hundred!
We have been counting with our fingers and feet and looking at building number sense. The book looks at different ways of making a number. We learned that a crab has 10 feet, two are claws and that creatures with 10 legs are called decapods.
In their free play, the children have been using their math skills building with bricks and looking at patterns in their play. They have been shape hunting and counting the sides of the 2D shapes. Some children have been exploring 3D shapes such as spheres and cubes.
