Animal Legs Choose an animal that your child likes (e.g., cats), and make a table about the number of cats and their legs (or paws, eyes, and so on). Start with 1 cat, and fill in how many legs 1 cat has. Then add another cat, and fill in the total number of legs that 2 cats have. Continue the table, and discuss the pattern that emerges. See whether your child can determine what comes next.
| Cats | Legs |
|---|---|
| 1 | 4 |
| 2 | 8 |
| 3 | 12 |
| 4 | ? |
