You may not know this, but there are some wild bunnies roaming around in your backyard! Well technically they’re kinda large, so maybe they should be called rabbits, and maybe they don’t live right in your backyard, but that’s okay. If you live near Los Altos hills or the Palo Alto Foothills, or even near the baylands in Palo Alto, you should keep your eyes peeled for hopping animals with large ears, aka BUNNIIIESS!

Bunnies are amazing animals, because they are fluffy and jump around, and tend to have a lot of offspring! So now that you’ll start looking out for these cute mammals around Los Altos, let’s do some bunny math problems!

Bunny Problems

  • Your bunny’s ears are 4 inches wide and 7 inches tall. What is the total area of both of your bunny’s ears?
  • Your bunny races a turtle! The race is 10 miles long. Your bunny runs at 5 miles an hour pace, but rests in the middle for  an hour. The turtle runs 4 miles an hour and doesn’t stop to rest at all. Who wins?
  • Challenge: If you buy 2 bunnies, and every year they each have 2 baby bunnies, and they each have 2 bunnies a year and so on, how many bunnies will you have total after 5 years? (Each bunny has babies when they are 1 year old and every year after.)
