Simple Math

My students were giving animal presentations and one boy, while presenting his facts about a tarantula, said, "Tarantulas have eight legs but sometimes they can lose their legs."

I was attempting to prompt him about how they can lose their legs but they grow back and I asked, "Well, what happens if they lose a leg?"

His immediate response, "Well, then they have seven legs!" :)

Maybe I should have been a little more specific in my questioning...

It's simple math Mrs. Ellison!

Gotta love it,
Laura
