Administer a learning activity that challenges your class to use a number line in the form of lily pads. Learners are instructed to display the number of hops that Toad and Frog take during their journey on a number line. Young mathematicians are literally counting the hops on the lily pads and transferring that knowledge to hops on a number line.
