Today we explored multiplication using a picture of a seascape and a friendly clownfish named Chloe! We learned that Chloe the Clownfish is 4 inches long. Using that information, we tried to use our multiplication skills to figure out how long, tall, or wide other sea creatures in the picture were. For example, we noticed that the sea anemone was about the size of 2 Chloes, so that would be 2 x 4 = 8 inches long. We were using proportional relationships to help us determine the size of the larger objects! Ask your child about some of the other creatures: triggerfish, tube sponge, moray eel, sea turtle, parrotfish, brain coral, and vase sponge.
