I'd tell the kids a story problem and they'd have to solve it. I liked to use a theme, so when we were hatching baby chicks in the classroom I did an egg theme. I was making up ridiculous problems like, "A hen laid 62 eggs this morning, and 75 eggs this evening. How many eggs will we have for breakfast tomorrow?" But the kids knew I was being silly. (I think. Although they originally thought that the eggs in our incubator had come from the grocery store!)

It's bloody IMPORTANT that the chickens can't lay three eggs in one day. Seriously, my kid would be so hung up on that that he'd not even be able to pretend that somebody ate 3 + 2 apples instead. UGH. And yeah, the recyclers. We have a stupid neighbor here who continually puts un-accepted stuff out and then they don't pick it up because DUH. Instead of taking it back inside, and call Goodwill, they leave it out there. Also EF the coaches, they should know better.
