🦁 Perfect for:

• Special Education teachers building counting, sorting, and patterning IEP goals
• Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting math language, following directions, and number vocabulary
• Autism classrooms needing structured, repeatable math practice with engaging visuals
• Occupational Therapists working on pincer grasp, fine motor skills, and tweezer/tong manipulation
• ABA therapists running discrete trial counting, sorting, and patterning programs
• Early Childhood, Pre-K, and Kindergarten teachers
• Math Intervention and RTI / MTSS teachers
• Homeschool families with young math learners

🐘 What's Included:

• 1 What's In The Bowl: Zoo Animals Count and Sort Activity Book
• Counting, sorting, patterning, and making-10 activities throughout
• Compatible with real mini-erasers (link to where to purchase included)

🎯 Skills Targeted:

Counting (1-to-1 correspondence, counting to 10 and beyond), sorting and classification, attribute identification, making tens (Common Core K.OA.A.4), pattern completion (AB, ABC, ABB patterns), pattern creation, number recognition, zoo and safari animal vocabulary, fine motor skills (pincer grasp, tweezer/tong manipulation), visual discrimination, following directions, and independent work skills.

⭐ How to Use:

Set up at a math center with a bowl AND zoo animal mini-erasers (or the included printable pieces). Students complete each activity in the book — counting animals, sorting by type, completing animal patterns, creating their own animal patterns, or making 10 using zoo animals. Add tweezers or tongs to sneak in OT fine motor practice. Print multiple copies for small-group use.

🐒 Ways to Use:

• Math centers and counting practice
• Independent work systems (TEACCH)
• Speech therapy math language sessions
• Math intervention (RTI / MTSS Tier 2 & 3)
• Morning tubs and early finisher activities
• ABA discrete trial counting, sorting, and patterning
• OT fine motor and pincer grasp sessions
• Zoo, safari, and animal thematic units
• Homework and take-home practice
• Extended School Year (ESY), summer school, and home programs

⭐ Why You'll Love This Book:
