1. Print the Frog Printable found in Downloadable Resources in the right-hand sidebar.
2. Cut out the frogs.
3. Bring them outside, along with sidewalk chalk.
4. With the help of your parent or teacher, make a large number line, from 0-10, that you can walk on. Here is an example of a number line you can draw:

5. Now, try out a problem: 2 frogs + 4 frogs = ___ frogs.
6. The problem starts with 2 frogs, so put 2 frogs on the number line, one on the 1, and one on the 2.
7. Now, you are going to hold the rest of the frogs and jump forward 4 spots, putting a frog down at each number.
8. So, starting at the 2, jump to 3 and put a frog down, jump to 4 and put a frog down, jump to 5 and put a frog down, and the last jump, jump to 6 and put a frog down.
9. You just added 4 frogs to the number line!
10. Jump off and count how many frogs there are now.
11. The answer in addition is called the sum. So what is the sum of 2 frogs and 4 frogs? 2 + 4 = 6!
