Today I bought this new shoe rack to help me organize my shoes.
Maybe you can help!
1. Select 
2. Follow the directions on each 
3. Select 
when you finish ALL pages.
How could you get started?
Think about how many shoes there are. Try counting them by 2s.
Think about placing the shoes on the shoe rack. How many shoes would you put on the bottom shelf? The middle shelf? The top shelf? It’s okay to have a different number of shoes on each shelf.
It looks like each shelf has only enough space for 6 shoes or fewer. Does that change how you might place the shoes on the shoe rack?
Try writing an addition equation that matches how you placed the shoes.
