Bucket of Frogs

After reading a math number story involving counting insects, Munch, Crunch, What a Lunch, students explored with a creature that could eat insects.  Students spent work place time today counting frogs..100 of them.  Children explored different methods of figuring out how many frogs there were...while some counted by 1's, others challenged themselves to (attempt) to count by 2's and 5's and others realized that counting by 10's may be the easiest.  INQUIRE with your child how they went about counting the frogs.  Later in the week, students will have an opportunity to sort the frogs based on how they look.
