It's really a sad day when I can't figure out my 5 year olds homework

I'm a pretty intelligent guy.  At least I thought so, until I tried helping my 5 year old son, Emmett, with his homework.

Here is a picture of the assignment.

The top section was pretty easy. All you have to do is color less than five markers.  However, the second part was confusing because they wanted you to color more than ten markers, but they only give you 10 spaces.....

When you look at the other page, I believe they intended that you would just make your own spaces (See below).

You can see that they just are their own space and adding additional markers.. Having said that, Emmett isn't going to like coloring outside of the spaces he was given.

Thankfully, Emmett did okay, as you can see below.  I'm just not sure if we did this right.

Perhaps I'm over-thinking things but it would make sense for their to be more than ten boxes if they wanted you to color in more than ten.  I mean, these are 5 year old kids.
