Product Description
In an artful interweaving of mathematics and literature, this series of lively mathematics activities jumps off from one of the well-known "Frog and Toad" stories, "The Lost Button." The story leads to free exploration of buttons, then sorting and classifying and a "Guess the Sort" game. Students design their own buttons and use a graphing grid to organize data. Students also "guesstimate" the number of small plastic frogs in a jar and the number of lima beans in a handful to develop the valuable life skill of estimating. A "Frog Pond" board game helps students develop strategic-thinking skills. The "Hop to the Pond Game" is an experiment in probability and statistics. In the newly revised guide, all grade levels play the fair version of "Hop to the Pond" with six frogs. Then grades 13 play the unfair version with 12 frogs. Emphasis throughout is on student cooperation. The California Math Council has named Frog Math as a recommended replacement unit.

Not a "dud" lesson in the book! May 27, 1998

4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The time invested in set-up and collecting materials for lessons from this text is well spent. The lessons are clearly presented, appropriate, and engaging, with many extension ideas included. The lessons were effective in primary and are adaptable for intermediate. To quote a friend who passed the lessons on to me: "There isn't a dud lesson in the book." She is right! Nicely done, J. Kopp!
