The Chicken Coop
Farmer Ben has 5 chickens. Each chicken lays 2 eggs every day.
Chicken 1: 2 eggs
Chicken 2: 2 eggs
Chicken 3: 2 eggs
Chicken 4: 2 eggs
Chicken 5: 2 eggs
Total: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10 eggs per day!
When every group has the SAME number, we can skip count. By 2s: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Five groups of 2 = 10.
**Think About It:** In one week (7 days), Farmer Ben collects 10 × 7 = 70 eggs! That's a lot of omelets.
