Hint 3 of 3
Count the big circles first, then go back and count all the little circles.
Show solution
Approach: point to and count every circle, big and small
- Start with the big round parts: the face is 1 circle, and the two ears are 2 more.
- Now the small circles: each ear has a tiny circle inside (2), the two eyes (2), and the round mouth (1).
- Counting them all gives 8 circles, so the answer is D.
