One of the facts shared in the book Counting on Frank is that only ten humpback whales would fit
in the narrator’s house. I will have my students participate in an activity to determine the size of the narrator's house. I will provide an activity sheet to my student and ask them to calculate how large a box is needed to hold the average humpback whale. I will provide information on the typical length, width, and height of a humpback whale. They will need to provide the length, height, and width of the box. After estimating the size of the boy's house, I will encourage each group to describe the process they used to find the answer. We will discuss the information needed to determine the number of whales that would fit inside the house. Each group will complete the remainder of the activity sheet which will include the questions: About how much space would ten boxes fill?, About how big is the boy’s house?, and About how many humpback whales would fit in your school?. I will ask my students to explain how they determined their answers.
