8 Crates
Take a minute to view the video reading of 6 Sticks, which I recently recorded. I have added captions to correspond with many of the pages in the text. You may need to pause in order to read these.

Let’s collectively compose 8 Crates, which will follow the same format as 6 Sticks.
Write one page which would fit into this new book, then compose a short caption which might accompany a teacher’s edition of the story . (Follow the example of the 6 Sticks captions I wrote.)



8 crates make 8 seats.
Just like the flags in 6 sticks the 8 crates are separted to make 8 seats. (1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=8 )

8 crates make… 2 book shelves
(stacked in 2 stacks of 4 crates each)
This helps in addition or mulitplication.
(4+4=8 or 2×4=8 ) This is a great visual for multiplication of 2×4.

8 crates make 4 pairs of shoes.
(2 crates for each pair of shoes, 1 crate for each shoe)
This can help with addition, multiplication, or division.
(8/4=2 or 4×2=8 or 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=8 )

8 crates make 8 turtle cages
You have (1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=8 )
You could use different numbers of animals to put in the “cages” then it would make a good multiplication or division promblem, otherwise its good for addition. You could even make differnt animals in the cages and group to make the problem more diverse.

4 crates for toy trucks and 4 crates for baby dolls. Another way of saying it is one set of 4 for trucks and one set of crates for dolls. 4+4=8 or 2*4=8

8 crates make 8 cat beds.
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8
There are 8 crates. One crate can be used for one cat bed. By adding the cat beds together, we find that we used 8 crates to make 8 cat beds.

I have 4 dolls who need a place to sleep. They also need a place to keep their clothes and accessories.
My dolls each have 1 crate that they use as their bed and 1 crate that they store their clothes and accessories in.
4 doll beds + 4 accessory keepers = 8 crates
or
4 dolls need 2 crates each, so 4 * 2 = 8 crates
