Video Summary

Emma can build 20 different caterpillars using her puzzle pieces. She has two choices for the head pieces and two choices for the tail pieces. For the middle section, she needs to use the cherry piece at the end due to its rectangular connection. She can add the apple and grape pieces in any order in front of the cherry, allowing for five possible combinations: cherry alone, apple-cherry, grape-cherry, apple-grape-cherry, and grape-apple-cherry. Multiplying the options for the head, middle, and tail sections results in a total of 20 possible caterpillars.
