What it is
Bunnies, chicks and puppies are waiting at the station. Children tap the platform to help animals aboard and tap an animal to help it off, until the car holds exactly the number on the sign. Later trains have a number on every car door, and then children fill a second car to make 10 or a teen number.
What children learn
Builds one-to-one counting and cardinality to 10, reading numerals with and without dot pictures, one more and one fewer, and making 10 and teen numbers with a full car of ten.
What it teaches
- Count objects to 5
- Compare quantities
- Add and subtract within 20
- Count and place numbers to 10
- Add and subtract within 10
