How Many? Tiny Caterpillar

There are many things to count and many ways to think about the picture!

Find as many ways as you can to answer the question “How many?”

Text at the top of the picture says '2. Tiny caterpillar second.' Text at the bottom of the picture says 'A tiny caterpillar eats its way out of its egg and starts munching the leaf.' The picture shows 3 caterpillar eggs on the left side of a leaf and 3 on the right side. In the middle, one more egg is broken and a caterpillar is coming out. Each egg has 9 straight lines radiating out from a circle in the center of the egg. The caterpillar has many body sections, and each section has 3 dots on it.
  • What can you count in the picture? How many are there?
  • Show someone else what you counted and how you did it. Ask them to count something else in the picture and show you how they did it.
