Description

In Mouse Count by Ellen Stoll Walsh, a hungry snake finds 10 mice in the grass and puts them in a jar. The last mouse cleverly sends the snake on a fruitless search for an even bigger mouse, and meanwhile, the other mice tip over the jar and escape. In this activity, children investigate the different ways the 10 mice could be arranged, considering how many are inside the jar and how many are in the grass.
