How to do it

  1. 1

    Draw a shark on cardboard and cut it out.

  2. 2

    Cut a long strip of white paper and put small fish stickers along it.

  3. 3

    Tape two cardboard guides on the back of the shark to make a sliding track for the strip.

  4. 4

    On a second piece of cardboard, paste the shark on top and draw a math equation space at the bottom.

  5. 5

    Cover the equation space with clear tape so it acts like a dry-erase board.

Tips & extensions

If you don't have fish stickers, just draw small fish along the strip with a marker.
