There are 2 leaves for 10 ladybugs to sit on.
How many different combinations can you make eg. 6+4=10 , 5+5=10
What combinations can you make if there are 20 ladybugs?

You go for a walk in your garden for three days in a row.
On day 1 you see 2 ladybugs on one leaf and 3 ladybugs on another leaf. How many ladybugs did you see on Day 1?
On day 2 you see 4 lady bugs on one leaf and 4 lady bugs on another leaf. How many ladybugs did you see on Day 2?
On day 3 you see 7 lady bugs on on leaf and 5 ladybugs on another leaf. How many ladybugs did you see on Day 3?
Which day did you see the most ladybugs?
How many ladybugs did you see over the three days when you were in the garden?
Can you make up your own ladybug garden maths story using 3 leaves? You could work in the 0-10 range, 0-20 range or 0-100 range!
Tip: You may like to draw 2 large leaves first and use counters (or small pieces of pasta) to be your ladybugs.

Join this father and son on Art for Kids Hub to help you create an amazing realistic ladybug. You will need some paper, pens and colouring pencils.
Tip: You may need to pause the video if they go too fast for you. Also, it is a good idea to watch the whole video first before you start drawing so that you know what your picture will look like. Try to use your whole page so that your ladybug is not too small.
Challenge...
Can you now label the different parts of the ladybug.
This could be added to your insect book if you are making one!
