The activities in this book are designed to teach addition and subtraction concepts using concrete objects. Children use the frog counters to act out situations that require combining groups to add or taking away parts of a larger group to subtract. They begin to connect the action of addition or subtracting to the words and symbols used for the operations. They write simple addition and subtraction sentences. All the activities support current mathematics standards

Here's a fun way for your students to practice their addition, subtraction, and beginning multiplication skills. They will use Funtastic Frogs to play each of these simple, but powerful, skill-building games. Each game is easy to learn and works well in a learning center or with small groups. This approach is excellent for mastering basic facts.

The activities in this book are designed to teach strategies for mental computation of addition and subtraction. These strategies should be taught after children have learned addition and subtraction, but before they have mastered the facts. Each strategy is introduced using frog counters to teach a way of thinking how to use numbers to find sums and differences quickly and correctly. The strategies utilize numbers with specific properties of addition and subtraction in ways that make sense to a child. Many of the activity pages are purposely designed to be open-ended and may be customized for practice of facts that children find most challenging

The activities in this book are designed to teach strategies for solving word problems. Your students will use Funtastic Frogs to act out word problems that involve addition and subtraction. They will use the four-step problem solving process and these strategies: look for a pattern, make or use a picture, make a table, make an organized list, and use logical thinking. Your students will love solving word problems this way!

The activities in this book are designed to develop readiness for multiplication and division. Children use the frog counters to act out the number relationships in multiplication and division. They use the counters to make equal groups and add them. They act out sharing a total number of counters among different groups to divide. These activities serve as a bridge in understanding between addition and multiplication and between subtraction and division, helping to develop readiness for more symbolic work with the operations in later years.
