Make a duck mask necklace and quack along as we count and solve basic math equations.

A number sentence is an expression that contains numbers and mathematical symbols. For example: 3 + 4 = 7. Number sentences are used to introduce young children to basic math concepts. This activity gives us a fun way to solve math sentences by counting (and quacking) the feathers on a duck mask that is used as a necklace.
