Check out this post about the world record cat, Sophie!
Sure, most cats are soft and furry. But this one has gone bonkers. Sophie holds the world record for the longest cat fur. Measuring more than 10 inches long, Sophie’s fur might be longer than your own hair. Judging from the look on her face, we’re not sure she likes having all that fur…and you can’t blame her. Her owners have to brush her out 2-3 times every week to keep it neat. But now that she holds the Guinness World Record for furriest cat, maybe it’s worth it.
Your Turn
1. Create a pic collage with the topic from this and some of the facts from the article.
2. Choose a math question to answer from the list below depending on your age.
3. Add question and the the answer to your pic collage.
4. If you want to do more of these challenges, add the Bedtime Math site to your homescreen on your ipad.
Wee ones: If Sophie’s fur is 10 inches long and your hair is 6 inches long, whose is longer?
Little kids: The previous record holder, Colonel Meow, had fur 1 inch shorter than Sophie’s. How long was Colonel Meow’s fur? Bonus: They say eating salmon (a type of fish) makes your hair soft and healthy. If Sophie eats salmon twice a day, how many times does she eat it in a week?
Big kids: If Sophie’s fur grows 1 inch every 2 months starting now, could it be 14 inches long by next May? (We’re starting September now.) Bonus: If Sophie needs 2 more brushings this week (Wednesday through Saturday) on any 2 days, how many different pairs of days could she be brushed?
