Let’s read the story of “The Two Frogs who Hop between Osaka and Kyoto."
Let’s go outside and pretend that two points are Osaka and Kyoto. We can mark each pretend town with a tree, mailbox, a lamp post, or sidewalk chalk.
Let’s count the number of steps between our two pretend towns.
Let’s pretend that we are the two frogs hopping between Osaka and Kyoto. How many hops does it take to travel from one town to the other? Let’s count.
Let’s each start at one town and hop to the middle. How many hops does it take each of us to reach the middle? Let’s count.
