Five pages of numbers to 5 on a log with five spots, a five frame the frogs fill from the left. On page 1 children count the frogs on each log and write how many; the empty log is 0. Page 2 shows a number beside an empty log: children draw that many dots, one on each spot. On page 3 one frog jumps into the pond: children count the frogs, cross out the one that jumps and write how many are left. Page 4 asks how many more frogs make 5: children draw dots on the empty spots and finish "3 and ___ make 5". Page 5 has 5 frogs in all, some on the log and the rest in the pond, in every way from 5 and 0 to 0 and 5.
Tape five squares in a row on the floor as a log and let five children be frogs. Have some hop off into the "pond" and ask "How many are on the log? How many are in the pond? How many frogs in all?" Every time, the answer to the last question is 5. On page 4, the empty spots are the frogs still to come: children who count the empty spots have found how many more make 5.
Put five spoons in a row as a log and use small toys or coins as frogs. Put 3 on the log and ask how many more fill it. Then take one off at a time and count how many are left.

Numbers to 5 with frogs on a log whose five spots are a five frame, so an empty log is zero and a full one is five. Children count the frogs, draw dots to show a number, take one away as a frog jumps into the pond and find the ways to make 5.
