Required Resource Materials
Activity

Each student has some blank caterpillar legs to which numeral cards are added. If the students have little number recognition the numeral cards should be initially 1, 2 or 3. Gradually increase the number size. The students add the correct number of legs then order the caterpillars from the smallest number of legs to the largest.
