It's all about number 10 how many combinations could we make with the chips.  It looks like the combinations of 3 and 7  and 4 and 6 came up the most.  The children know the language of part part whole.  Three parts green and 7 parts white make a whole 10.

Some outcomes we worked on while having fun with the very hungry caterpillar!

We created a display in the hallway using our hands to create the hungry caterpillar.  KA and KB did the complete alphabet.The very hungry caterpillars of KA and B are eating their way through the alphabet!
