Oink And Cluck

Today we had to work out something called Oink and Cluck we had to find out how much legs there were and how much pigs and chickens there were and we had to show different ways we had to use addition, skip counting and multiplication. Me and my buddy Lochlan first tried skip counting we kept counting until we had 26 legs because 36 legs were how many were on the question. we added up all of the leg and got 6 pigs and 6 chickens. Next we wanted to try addition we wrote 4+4+4+4+4 it equaled 20 legs and that 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=16 legs so there were 5 pigs and 8 chickens. After that me and Lochlan tried multiplication we found out 6x4= 24 pig legs and that 2x6= 12 chicken legs and there were 6 pigs and 6 chickens. Last of all we did multiplication again and tried 5x4 and that equaled 20 pig legs and that 8x2= 16 chicken legs so there were 5 pigs and 8 chickens
