20 Hungry Piggies

We are focusing on math texts and adding right now. My son wants to read numbers in books, recipes and signs. He’s very good at reading two and three digit cardinal numbers, but number words are harder for him. We went searching and here is what I found at the local library. 

Today we read 20 Hungry Piggies by Trudy Harris. We are working on reading number words and counting to 20, which my son mostly has down pat. He's not quite 4 and is actually pretty good at using ordinal (order) numbers, such as first, second, and third. It was still fun and some good practical use of the mathematical terms. If you can't find your book at a local library or buy it online, here it is on YouTube.


I created some free printable activities to help with matching cardinal and ordinal numbers. It also includes a dot to dot draw by number page that my son liked coloring once he finished. If you've got a Promethean or Smart Board, check out my free Google Presentation



This was a fun story to read around my daughters also as they are still learning nursery rhymes and finger plays. This one is a play on This Little Piggy. See the original via video below.
