Fern's Playground: Counters Tell the Story

Kindergarten math: use counters as the children, balls and ducks in Fern's stories. Put more counters on the mat when friends come, take some off when they go, then finish a story of your own. Fully narrated for pre-readers.

• 12 narrated scenes with read-aloud picture choices
• 4 act-it-out ten-frame mats (take away and add more)
• A finish-the-story free-play mat
• Spoken hints on every wrong answer

• Tell which counters stand for which things in a picture.
• Show a story with counters: put more on the mat when some come, take some off when some go.
• Know that a counter can stand for a child, a ball or a duck in a story.
• Finish a story by choosing what happens next, then tell whether more came or some went away.
