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 Habitat 1. 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, flowers, sticks, pine needles, and nuts. Ask your child to write the name, or draw a picture, of each item you find in the appropriate column of the chart. Math Facts with Your Findings 1. 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 sunflower 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) Wild Kratts: Adding Up Animal Habitats TM 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.
