Description
Five Green and Speckled Frogs Activity Pack
This engaging and versatile frog-themed activity is perfect for building foundational skills at the beginning of the year — and then revisiting later to support more advanced math concepts like subtraction and number decomposition.
Start the year by using this playful song as a transition to the rug and build oral language, counting, and one-to-one correspondence through interactive puppets, retelling activities, and class books. As the year progresses, bring the resource back out to reinforce subtraction and introduce simple equations with hands-on number stories!
