Five pages of counting with animals. Page 1 has five rows of 1 to 5 animals, each with three numbers to circle from. Page 2 counts 6 to 10 frogs, penguins, cats, butterflies and bears set out in rows of five, the way a ten frame fills. On page 3 students count six groups and write each number in a box. Page 4 turns it around: circle 3 of the 6 frogs, 5 of the 8 penguins and so on. Page 5 is a busy scene of owls, frogs, lions and turtles to count kind by kind.
Model touching each animal as you count it out loud, then let students try with a finger before circling. On page 4, count out loud and draw the circle around the animals as you go: stop when you reach the number. Page 5 works well with crayons: mark each animal with a dot of color as it is counted.
Count animals in a picture book or out the window together. Ask your child to give you 4 toy animals, then 7, and count them back with you.
