How many people and animals can cram into a single bed? Find out with this cross-curricular math and language arts lesson. Following along with a reading of the children's book The Napping House by Audrey Wood, young mathematicians add and remove counters to ten-frames to model how many living creatures are sleeping in the bed. Extend the lesson by writing addition and subtraction equations that correspond to the events in the story. A fun activity that engages children in developing their number.
