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!

Use these three jumbo volumes of engaging hands-on activities to supplement and enrich your math program. Designed to support the use of Funtastic Frogs, children will explore important math concepts ranging from matching and sorting to place value and beginning algebraic thinking, Each volume consists of previously-published material

The activities in this book are designed to teach number concepts using concrete objects. As children engage in these number activities, they will develop basic counting skills using the frog counters. They will recognize how many frogs are in a set of group. They will connect number words, the quantities they represent, and the numerals to the groups of frogs shown in the activities. They will make connections between the size of the numbers and the counting sequence. Finally, they will develop the ability to mentally visualize numbers

Here's a fun way for your students to explore addition and subtraction and learn place value. 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. Your students will love learning about addition and subtraction this way. These activities are perfect for learning centers, large or small groups, or for individual use.

The activities in this book are designed to teach that a pattern is a sequence of objects that repeats over and over. Children learn that they can use patterns to predict what comes next and to solve problems. Working with patterns is key to the development of a child's mathematical thinking. It provides a framework for recognizing the patterns in our number system. It helps children develop their ability to make generalizations, think logically, and solve problems in mathematics. Early experiences with patterns develop skills that are needed for work with functions and algebra in the later years. All the activities in this book support current mathematics standards.

“This celebration of differences displays great respect for readers' intelligence and yields more with each reading. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Two shy kids discover the power of friendship in this charming picture book that celebrates being different. A boy likes to dress as a cat, but his best friend’s dog objects. What will he dress as now? A giraffe? A fox? A shark? When his best friend, Camille, suggests a frog, they work together to make the frog costume…until Camille runs out of patience. So the boy makes a list of the pros and cons of being a frog: Pros: 1. My friend Camille gave me the idea 2. I’m less likely to be chased by a dog 3. Being in a frog costume makes me feel brave Cons: 1. Not everyone loves wearing a frog costume as much as me 2. If you start getting bossy about your frog costume then your friend will get up and leave 3. A frog is NOT a solitary creature so it is no fun for a frog if his friend gets up and leaves Luckily, he won’t have to choose, because true friendship means accepting each other’s differences: he can be himself and have his friend Camille.
