A pack of coyotes tries to determine how many roadrunners and other creatures are in their vicinity, and while some count different groups and add their totals together, Clever Coyote rounds off and estimates.
Level 2: RoundingClever Coyote has spent a long day at the ranch, and she's hungry. But before she can eat, she's going to teach her friends a math lesson they'll never forget in this western tale of eating and estimation.
Clever Coyote thinks it's time for lunch -- and also time to show her friends how, with some simple rounding, she can add up numbers in her head. If only she were as good at hunting as she is at math!
