Week 21 #PictYourBooks Challenge

Time for some teamwork, everyone. Every answer to this week's challenge will take at least 2 books to answer, so you sharing books with each other and putting them together to answer the challenge will show great teamwork. Here's the challenge, followed by an example of how to answer the challenge:

Challenge #21: Create a math problem 

using books where the answer is TEN. 

Numbers are everywhere in books. They might be in the title (like Walk Two Moons or The Three Little Pigs) or they might be part of the book (like four houses at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books or the three kisses that Strega Nona blows into her magical pasta pot). Your job is to take those numbers and put them together somehow to get an answer of 10. Here are two examples:

FOUR houses at Hogwarts PLUS THREE little pigs PLUS Strega Nona's THREE kisses EQUALS TEN. 

4+3+3=10

OR

THREE blind mice TIMES the FOUR sisters in The Penderwicks MINUS Cinderella's TWO wicked stepsisters EQUALS TEN.

(4x3)-2=10

Step 1: Find the numbers in the books you are reading.
Step 2: Put your books (and your brains) together to make a math problem.
Step 3: Share your answer with me!

Good luck!

You have one week to submit your answer. Answers can be submitted three ways. Snap a picture of any book that answers the challenge and:

• text it to (715) 903-6455
• email it to PictYourBooks@gmail.com
• respond to @HelpReaders on Twitter

Please include the week number with your picture. You may also include who the image is from, like a teacher's name, and a description of how the book answers the challenge. Writing information on a sticky note and including it in the picture works great!
