The Coral Reef Habitat Mat Bundle offers an in-depth study of an ecosystem, exploring the diversity and interdependence of the species living there. Young learners can match the wooden animals to the mat; labels encourage children to make and symbolize sentences about the plants and animals living in the coral reef. Storytellers are encouraged to act out the drama with characters of the story outlined in the sequence cards. Word problems offer the opportunity to apply math skills and gain a deeper understanding of ecology, and fact file cards provide information on all of the animals to guide the children in working with the food chain chart and energy transfer arrows. Wooden boxes for all the cards are included, along with a lidded wooden storage box with dividers and a tray for easy and tidy shelf storage. (6 to 12 years)
