Whether your children explore this set of rabbit and carrot counting algorithm boards during gardening week, Easter or any time of year they will have fun sequencing numbers of objects. Children will connect the carrot or groups of carrots in number order. First, they will connect the Start box to the box with one carrot. Then they will continue connecting the carrots in number order. Finally, they will connect the box with ten carrots to the End box.
Sequencing and following steps in order is important. Children learn that directions work and sequences are complete when they are done in order. Creating computer code requires order to. Before using text or coding blocks to create an algorithm, they need to practice sequencing. This set of rabbit and carrot counting boards provides that opportunity.

Exploring the Rabbit and Carrot Counting Game Boards
You will find that pages can only be completed one way. Once your children start connecting the numbers, they will probably pick up on the number sequence.
Here is how you could introduce your children to the game boards.
- First, you can work through a part of a game board with your children. It will help them understand how to place the arrows in the boxes. Remember that the arrows they draw or the printed arrows should point in the direction they will need to go to connect to the next step. They need to begin at the word Start and finish in the box that will lead them to the End box.
- Second, children can work with a partner to complete the gameboard. They can take turns placing the arrows in the squares.
