Instructional Ideas

• Encourage learners to mark pictures they've counted to not lose track of their work
• Depending on the time you have, print the black and white pages and direct participants to color as part of the assignment, otherwise print the color copies
• Send the activity home to give pupils the opportunity to count, roll, and graph with their mother or mother-figure 

Classroom Considerations

• The second Sunday of May is Mother's Day 
• Not every child celebrates the holiday; consider their reasons and sensitivity to the subject 

Pros

• Pages come ready to print in color or black and white 
• An answer key is included 

Cons

• None
