Video Descripton

In the example of Playful Instruction, Ms. G, initiates and directs the froggy math game. The group flip over the cards simultaneously, counting and comparing the numbers on cards, and the people who has a greatest number would have others’ cards. Ms. G explains the rules before the game, models the activity and scaffolds the children’s learning math through this interesting game.
