One Is a Snail Ten Is a Crab

We read the book One Is a Snail Ten Is a Crab by April Pulley Sayre and Jeff Sayre.

It is a counting by feet book. There are different characters that have different number values. 

For example, 1 is a snail, 2 is a person, 4 is a dog, 6 is an insect, 8 is a spider, and 10 is a crab.

We then got into mixed groups. We had pictures of the characters and an iPad. Then we made number sentences and patterns using the characters. We talked in our groups about our ideas and came up with some on our own and some with our group. 
Next, we used the iPad to take photos to show what we learned. 
We really enjoyed looking at numbers in a different way like this.
Here are some of our pictures.
