1 More Groundhogs = More Counting Cheer!
Imagine a world where groundhogs love showing off their math skills (who knew, right?). In this activity, your child will encounter four friendly groundhogs, each holding a number.
But wait, there's more! To the right of each groundhog is a blank space just begging for a special number. Can you guess what it is?
That's right! It's the number that comes one more than the number the groundhog is holding!
At the bottom of the page, your little one will find a row of numbers just waiting to be cut out. But here's the fun part – they get to choose the number that's one more than the groundhog's number and paste it in the blank space!
Think of it like helping the groundhogs gather more delicious acorns! The more they have, the happier they'll be (and the more excited your child will be to learn!).
1 Less Groundhogs = A Subtraction Soiree!
Uh oh, looks like some of our groundhog friends have misplaced a few acorns! Don't worry, though, your little math whiz can help them out! This page features four groundhogs, each holding a number. But this time, the blank space is on the left of the groundhog.
Can you guess what number needs to go there? That's right, it's the number that's one less than the groundhog's number! Just like in the last activity, your child will find a row of numbers at the bottom of the page, ready to be cut out.
This time, the challenge is to find the number that's one less than the groundhog's number and paste it in the blank space. Imagine it like helping the groundhogs count their remaining acorns after a playful snack time!
Ready for a Super Challenge?
The printable pack also includes exciting activities that take your little learner's math skills to the next level. But wait, there's more! Some pages offer an extra challenge where your child will encounter both 1 more and 1 less problems on the same page.
Think of it like helping the groundhogs gather and sort their acorns! Maybe they start with 2 acorns, but then find 1 more (adding fun!). Now they have 5 acorns in total! But uh oh, they accidentally lose 1 while playing (subtracting surprise!). How many acorns are left?
These activities will challenge your little learner in a fun and engaging way, making them feel like a true groundhog mathematician who can not only count acorns but solve even trickier problems that involve both adding and subtracting!

Why are 1 More & 1 Less Activities Important? ️
While these activities might seem simple, they're actually a super important step in your child's early math journey, just like those first wobbly steps a baby groundhog takes out of its burrow! Here's why:
- Building Number Sense: Counting and comparing numbers are foundational skills that help your child understand the concept of quantity. These activities help them build a strong number sense, which will pave the way for future math success, just like a groundhog needs a good sense of direction to find the juiciest clover patches!
- Early Subtraction & Addition Champions: Identifying 1 more and 1 less is a stepping stone to mastering addition and subtraction later on. These activities give your child a head start on these crucial math concepts, just like learning to gather one more tasty leaf each day prepares a groundhog for a long winter snooze!
- Confidence Boost: Completing these activities gives your child a sense of accomplishment, which builds their confidence in their math abilities. They'll be excited to tackle more challenging problems in the future, just like a groundhog who finally masters the art of digging the perfect burrow!

Groundhog Giggles: Fun Facts about these Furry Forecasters! ☀️
Groundhogs are those pudgy pals you might see peeking out of their holes in the spring. But did you know these little guys have some super cool talents? Get ready for some groundhog giggles as we dig into some fun facts!
Burrow Builders! Groundhogs are like tiny construction workers! They can dig long tunnels underground, sometimes stretching up to 50 feet – that's almost as long as two school buses! Imagine all the rooms they must have in there – a bedroom, a kitchen, maybe even a playroom?
Sleepyheads & Superpowers! Groundhogs are famous for taking long naps in the winter. But here's the surprising part: their bodies turn into chilly superheroes! Their temperature drops way down, and their hearts beat super slow – like taking a very long, cool nap!
Splashing Stars! Don't let their chubby bodies fool you – groundhogs are surprisingly good swimmers! They can paddle with their strong legs and even hold their breath for a long time. Maybe they're practicing for the next groundhog games!
Warning Whistlers! Groundhogs have a special way of talking to each other. If they see danger, they let out a loud whistle to warn their friends. That's why they're sometimes called "whistlepigs"!
Snack Stashers! Groundhogs love to eat all sorts of yummy things – from juicy berries to crunchy clover. In the fall, they become extra hungry and go on a giant food hunt to pack on the pounds for their long winter snooze. They're like tiny furry foodies!
Bonus Tips for 1 More & 1 Less Fun! ☀️
Here are some extra tips to make these activities even more engaging:
- Bring Math to Life! Act out the story of the groundhogs collecting acorns. You can be the narrator, and your child can be the groundhog, pretending to gather (adding) or share (subtracting) acorns.
- Turn it into a Touchy-Feely Experience! Use manipulatives like buttons, pennies, or even cereal pieces to represent the acorns. Your child can physically add or subtract these manipulatives to solve the problems.
- Make it a Movement Break! Get those wiggles out and reinforce the concepts with movement. Jump one more time for 1 more, or take a step back for 1 less.
- Create a Groundhog Number Line! Decorate a long strip of paper with numbers. Your child can use the number line as a visual aid to see which number comes 1 more or 1 less than a specific number.
- Let Technology Take Playtime Up a Notch! There are many educational apps and websites that make learning math fun. Find one with engaging groundhog or acorn themes to complement these worksheets.
- Positive Reinforcement! Acknowledge your child's effort and celebrate their progress, no matter how big or small.
