In this activity your child will practice basic math skills while exploring local habitats and the animals that live in them.

This Activity Will Help Your Child:• Learn about local animals and their habitats• Build addition and subtraction skills• Collect and analyze data

Supplies• Paper and pencil• Wild Kratts Creaturepedia

(Find it online at: pbskids.org/wildkratts/creaturepedia)

How Do I Do It?Explore an Animal Habitat1. Learn about different animals and their habitats

by going to the Wild Kratts Creaturepedia(pbskids.org/wildkratts/creaturepedia).

2. Talk with your child about the animals that live in your neighborhood, what their homes are made of, and what they eat. Pick a local animal to explore.

3. Create an exploration chart. Divide a sheet of paper into two columns by drawing a line down the middle. Label one column “Food” and the other “Shelter.”

4. Take a walk in the animal’s habitat. Encourage your child to look for items the animal uses for food and shelter. For example: leaves, fl owers, sticks, pine needles, and nuts. Ask your child to write the name, or draw a picture, of each item you fi nd in the appropriate column of the chart.

Math Facts with Your Findings1. Following the walk, sit down with your child and talk about the different

items on the exploration chart.

2. Ask your child math fact questions that relate to the items, such as:

• A squirrel eats nuts and seeds. You have four acorns and two sunfl ower seeds. How many of the items on the chart would a squirrel eat for dinner? (4 + 2 = 6)

• A beaver builds homes out of sticks. You found three sticks, but your beaver needs ten. How many more does he need? (10 – 3 = 7)

• There are 12 items on your chart. If we take away the ones that your animal uses for food (6), how many items are left? (12 – 6 = 6)

Adding Up Animal Habitats

Invite your child to create math questions for you to answer.

Think of how other animals might use the items you gathered. Create a chart showing the items collected and their different uses.

Page 2: y b erc a Ad ing Up Animal H bita˚s W a t s e o n In this ...€¦ · 2. Hable con su niño acerca de los animales que viven en su vecindario, de lo que están hechos sus hogares

Con esta actividad su hijo practicará algunas destrezas básicas para las matemáticas mientras explora los hábitats locales y los animales que allí viven.

Esta actividad ayudará a su hijo a:• Aprender sobre los animales locales y sus hábitats• Desarrollar destrezas para la suma y la resta• Recabar y analizar datos

Material• Lápiz y papel • Wild Kratts Creaturepedia

(En línea en: pbskids.org/wildkratts/creaturepedia)

¿Cómo hacerlo?Explorar el hábitat de un animal 1. Aprendan algo sobre los distintos animales y sus

hábitats visitando Wild Kratts Creaturepedia (liga a: pbskids.org/wildkratts/creaturepedia).

2. Hable con su niño acerca de los animales que viven en su vecindario, de lo que están hechos sus hogares y de lo que comen. Escojan un animal local para explorar.

3. Hagan una tabla de exploración. Dividan la hoja de papel en dos columnas dibujando una línea a lo largo del centro. Nombren una columna “Comida” y la otra “Refugio”.

4. Den un paseo por el hábitat del animal. Anime a su niño a que busque cosas que el animal utiliza como alimento y refugio. Por ejemplo: hojas, fl ores, palitos, agujas de un pino y frutos secos. Pídale a su niño que escriba el nombre, o haga un dibujo, de cada cosa que encuentre y que la ponga en la columna correcta de la tabla.

Datos matemáticos con tus hallazgos1. Después de la caminata, siéntese con su hijo a hablar de las diferentes cosas

que anotaron en la tabla de exploración.

2. Hágale preguntas sobre algunos datos matemáticos que se refi eran a las cosas como:

• Una ardilla come frutos secos y semillas. Tú tienes cuatro bellotas y dos semillas de girasol. ¿Cuántas de las cosas que anotaste en la tabla podría comer la ardilla en la cena? (4 + 2 = 6)

• Un castor construye casas de palitos. Encontraste tres palitos, pero tu castor necesita diez. ¿Cuántos más necesita él? (10 – 3 = 7)

• Juntaste doce cosas. ¿Si quitamos aquéllas que tu animal utiliza para alimentarse (6), cuántas cosas quedan? (12 – 6 = 6)

Sumar hábitats de los animales

Invite a su hijo a que haga preguntas sobre matemáticas para que usted las conteste.

Piensen en la manera cómo otros animales podrían utilizar las cosas que encontraron. Hagan otra tabla que muestre las cosas que recabaron y sus diferentes usos.
