Fun Facts About Dino Tracks and the Number 4
Fossil footprints of dinosaurs are called tracks, and a line of them is a trackway. From them, scientists can tell how a dinosaur walked, whether it traveled alone or in a group, and roughly how fast it moved. Dino tracks have been found all over the world, many from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Counting the prints teaches kids to match each print with exactly one number, a key building block of early math. Coloring the tracks also trains focus and fine motor skills.
What to Do With Your Finished Number Page
Draw four big footprints with sidewalk chalk and hop from one to the next. Or press modeling clay into the colored outlines. Then let each child tell a story about which dino left these tracks.
