Maths is extra fun in the autumn. We love crunching leaves underfoot when we're oot and aboot, but we wondered how many leaves would fit inside our footprints? We estimated how many leaves were in the right footprint, and how many were in the left. Then we counted them to see if we were correct. The left had 7, and the right had 9. We added them together to get the total number of leaves underfoot.
