Bug Story Problems

First grade mathematicians created bug story problems in class.  We traded math problems and solved each other's mathematical stories.  The pictures were uploaded into storyjumper online and with the help of props, brand new problems were created for you at home.
Challenge yourself.  Don't forget to show your thinking in many ways.  In class, we use a traditional number sentence (5+1=6, for example) and we quickly sketch our thinking, so we can show how we arrived at our answer. Smart mathematicians always justify their thinking!
