There are 7 girls on a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
There are 7 big cats in each backpack.
There are 7 little cats for every big cat.
How many legs are on the bus?
My husband offered me this brain teaser at lunch the other day. (I was successful on the second try! No hints! :o) I thought you might have fun trying it with your children. It will help them practice their understandings of multiplication. They can certainly use a calculator - we haven't taught them to multiply any more than single digits. Let me know what you come up with!
