Let’s work through this step by step.
We need to count each type of animal in the big box, then answer the three questions on the right.
First, let’s list all the animals we see:
There are 4 types:
- Chickens (big birds with combs)
- Ducks (smaller birds with flat bills)
- Pigs (round bodies, curly tails)
- Sheep (fluffy wool, small faces)
Now, let’s count them one by one.
👉 Chickens:
Look for the big chickens with feathery tails and combs.
I see:
- Top row: 2 chickens (one near center-left, one near center-right)
- Bottom row: 2 chickens (one on far left, one on far right)
Total = 4 chickens
👉 Ducks:
Small birds with round heads and flat beaks.
I see:
- Top left: 1 duck
- Middle right: 1 duck
- Bottom middle: 1 duck
Total = 3 ducks
👉 Pigs:
Round bodies, snouts, curly tails.
I see:
- Top row: 2 pigs (center and far right)
- Middle row: 1 pig (center)
- Bottom row: 2 pigs (left-center and right-center)
Total = 5 pigs
👉 Sheep:
Fluffy-looking, smaller than pigs.
I see:
- Left side: 1 sheep (middle row)
- Right side: 1 sheep (middle row)
Total = 2 sheep
Let me double-check total animals:
Chickens: 4
Ducks: 3
Pigs: 5
Sheep: 2
Total = 4 + 3 + 5 + 2 = 14 animals → That matches what I can visually count in the grid. Good!
Now, answer the questions:
1. “How many pigs are there?”
→ We counted 5 pigs.
2. “How many chickens and ducks altogether?”
→ Chickens: 4, Ducks: 3 → 4 + 3 = 7
3. “How many more chickens than sheep?”
→ Chickens: 4, Sheep: 2 → 4 - 2 = 2
All answers verified.
Final Answer:
