Synopsis
This printable worksheet features the shapes of tracks for 12 forest animals: deer, skunk, fox, rabbit, weasel, porcupine, mouse, coyote, raccoon, chipmunk, bobcat, and grey squirrel.
This resource is easy to differentiate and use for many types of lessons and learning experiences.
Visual learners or students who aren't yet fluent readers will do well with this resource.
Additional Prerequisites
Students should have some prior knowledge about forest animals and animal tracks.
Differentiation
Cross-curricular connections can be made in social studies classes discussing animal tracking in history or in math classes working on patterns.
This resource would make a fun game of matching, where students match the tracks to a picture of the animal. Pairs of students can check each other's work.
For a fun outdoor activity, cut out each track and use chalk to trace the "tracks" on a paved surface or have students look for the animal tracks outside after it rains or snows.
