We’ve seen that sheep love to parade. Sheep might also enjoy a day at the beach. But one sheep, Fiona, got stuck on a beach for more than 2 years! She was between the sea and some cliffs she couldn’t climb, so some helpful people gave her a lift – and then a haircut. All that wool was sold for money to help other animals in Scotland, where Fiona lives. And now she’s ready to get back on her boogie board.
Lace up: Which is bigger in the picture: the yellow sunscreen or the sheep?
Jog: Fiona’s flip-flop has 8 stripes in 2 colors: yellow and blue. If 4 stripes are blue, how many are yellow?
Sprint: If Fiona goes through one squeeze bottle of sunscreen every 12 days, does a squeeze bottle last more than 1 week?
Hurdle: If Fiona grew 60 pounds of wool and each pound of wool can make 1/2 mile of yarn, how many miles of yarn do those 60 pounds make?
High Jump: If Fiona weighs 240 pounds, and 60 pounds of that is wool, what fraction of her weight is wool?
Answers:
Lace up: The sheep is bigger than the sunscreen.
Jog: 4 stripes are yellow.
Sprint: Yes – it lasts nearly 2 weeks.
Hurdle: 30 miles of yarn.
High Jump: 1/4 of her weight – imagine if your hair weighed that much!
