We are just loving this dog family photo of Golden Retriever puppies. Retrievers are eager, hard workers with a great sense of smell, and they love to play fetch. These puppies have far more brothers and sisters than we people usually do, but a mama retriever can have up to 12 puppies at once! That’s plenty of helpers to fetch your Frisbee.
Lace up: How many puppies can we see in the picture?
Jog: If you’re holding the puppy who was born 5th, how many puppies were born before her?
Sprint: If your golden puppy runs 10 feet to fetch a ball and then brings it right back to you, how far did he run in total?
Hurdle: Goldens get really sad if left alone for more than 7 hours. If you leave the house at 1:30 in the afternoon, by what time should you be back?
High Jump: If a litter of puppies has 15 more legs than noses, how many puppies are there?
Answers:
Lace up: 5 puppies.
Jog: 4 puppies.
Sprint: 20 feet.
Hurdle: By 8:30 that night.
High Jump: 5 puppies. Each puppy has 3 more legs than noses, and 15 has 5 sets of that. They’ll have 20 legs and 5 noses.
