Collecting eggs
Digit Dog is collecting eggs from the Easter Bunny’s store. Here is a map of the store. (download and print your store here)
There are 8 rooms and the number tells you how many eggs are in each room. Digit Dog has to go into the rooms and collect the eggs BUT he can only go into each room ONCE.
How many can Digit Dog collect?
How many different ways can he go though the store?
Can you record his routes? How might you do this?
Can you do it a different way, Digit Dog, and collect more eggs?
What’s the most eggs you can collect?
What’s the smallest number of eggs?
Look for children who are planning the routes and can explain their thinking.
Make it easier
1. Use the blank store and put just numbers 1, 2 and 3 in the rooms.
2. Put mini-eggs in the rooms and collect them.
Extend the challenge
Use the blank store and put higher numbers in each room.
Challenge children to find all possible routes and to explain how they know they have found them all.
