Pip's Pond: One for Everyone

Pip the Frog and friends are back at the pond, and everyone needs one! Kindergartners take a quick look at flashed dots and say how many without counting, show the number on their fingers, act out a frog story, and give each frog one thing until everyone has one. They learn that when each one gets one, the two groups have the same number. Every direction is read aloud, and a wrong tap gets a spoken hint and another try.
