Here's a quick, easy and fun Leap Day math craft. The frog has 4 tongue options making it easy to diversify your lessons. Use the blank one to create other math equations, or different numbers for counting practice.

Teacher Comment:

• "This is so cute! I love the differentiation that is provided. Such a fun way to celebrate Leap Day and integrate it into practicing leaps and jumps on the

number line."

The first option simply helps children count to 29.

That frog pattern says, “Feeling Fine Counting to 29.”

The other frog patterns, which involve addition or subtraction say, “Feeling Fine Figuring 29.”

Two of these tongue patterns deal with simple addition. Children figure out what the missing number is, in order to complete the equation & make 29.

The final tongue involves simple subtraction.

Choose which is most appropriate for your students, or give children a choice.

Children can color their frog, or save time & print the frog pattern on green paper. Our tongues stand out on red and pink paper. (I give children a choice of vibrant colors).

Be sure & take a look at the PREVIEW to see lots of samples.

Completed projects really do turn out super-cute and make a sweet math bulletin board or hallway display.

• For a cool 3D effect, put a slight curl at the end of the tongue by rolling on a pencil then gently uncurling.
• A glued-on fly adds that finishing touch.

I’ve included a poster to add some extra pizzazz.
