Week 03 · Friday: Times as many (Number Trail Grade 4)

Friday: Freddy's comparing game

Freddy the Frog has set out lily pads in two rows.

"Ribbit! On my left row are small numbers," he says.

"On my right row are bigger numbers that are some times as many."

"Hop from a small pad to a big pad and tell me how many times."

Lucy flutters over to watch from her daisy.

"And watch out for my tricky pads," Freddy adds with a wink.

"Some of them say more than, not times as many!"
