I have been making Halloween cards for my friends. First, I had to teach myself how to draw monsters. I hope you like the monsters that I have drawn.

Level 1 Challenge

I want to have 15 eyes but no more than 5 monsters on each card. What combination of monsters could I use?

Possible Solutions

I made myself a few copies of my monsters and started shuffling them around on the dining table. Look what I found:

Then Johnny came over and suggested that we name the monsters by the number of eyes that they have. We soon came up with a few more possibilities:

	Monster 1	Monster 2	Monster 3	Monster 10
Solution 2	3	1	0	1
Solution 3	1	2	0	1
Solution 4	0	1	1	1
Solution 5	0	0	5	0

 

Level 2 Challenge

Some of my monsters have two arms with three fingers on each hand. Some have no fingers.

I want 12 fingers and 24 eyes on each card. What combination of monsters should I use?

Possible Solutions

I started with shuffling my monster copies around on the dining table and found:

Johnny was on hand to help find a few more possible solutions:

	Monster 1	Monster 2	Monster 3	Monster 10
Solution 2	0	4	2	1
Solution 3	1	5	1	1
Solution 4	1	0	1	2

Hope your students have as much fun with these monsters as I did!

Keep safe
