Teaching Materials
Positives
- This resource is easy to differentiate and use for many types of lessons and learning experiences.
- Visual learners or students who aren't yet fluent readers will do well with this resource.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should have some prior knowledge about forest animals and animal tracks.
Differentiation
- Cross-curricular connections can be made in social studies classes discussing animal tracking in history or in math classes working on patterns.
- This resource would make a fun game of matching, where students match the tracks to a picture of the animal. Pairs of students can check each other's work.
- For a fun outdoor activity, cut out each track and use chalk to trace the "tracks" on a paved surface or have students look for the animal tracks outside after it rains or snows.
This is a template containing animal footprints. It is suitable for students to acquaint themselves should they need to engage in a local field expedition.
