                                                                                                       Skills


                                               Create a Mystery Number Monster
                   Each student will take a worksheet on which a 4-digit number is written and a blank
                   monster outline or a space is given.

                   They have to draw the Mystery Number Monster using the clues given below.
                     •  thousands  Place: The digit  in the  thousands  place determines  the  number  of
                         EyES.

                     •  hundreds Place: The digit in the hundreds place determines the number of ArMS.
                     •  tens Place: The digit in the tens place determines the number of LEgS.
                     •  ones Place: The digit in the ones place determines the number of horNS.

                     •   If the sum of all the digits is an even number, the monster is green. If it's an odd
                         number, the monster is purple.
                     •   If the digit in the hundreds place is greater than 5, the monster has a long tongue.

                         If it is less than 5, it has a short tongue.
                   For example, let us use the number 5,742 for our monster:

                               5,742              5 Eyes             4 Legs
                                                                                      (H place digit, 7 > 5)



                                                                                           Green Body
                                                  7 Arms              2 Horns         (Digits’ sum is even)
