Activity 1 / Help the Warthog Count the Grubs Worksheet
How many animals are your kids familiar with? Test their knowledge on nature by asking them to list some of the animals they know which live in the wild. Now, look at this worksheet and see if they can identify the animals here. If they can’t, take the time to tell them the name of each animal shown. Then, trace the warthog’s path through the maze by solving the equations and going through only the paths that make 15.
