Louis is opening a new zoo and needs to find lots of animals for people to come see. All good zookeepers know that animals can get pretty lonely, unless they have a partner to keep them company!

Can you help Loius match each set of zoo animals with the same number of animal friends?

Look at this group of animals. How many are there? There are six! Can you tell which of these sets also has six animals?

That’s right! Now each animal has a friend.

Here’s Louis’ jungle exhibit. How many animals need a partner? Let’s count. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Which set of jungle animals also has seven?

Nice job, now there are seven pairs of happy animals.

Oh, I like this display. Bugs! Each one needs a friend. Which of these choices has the same number of insects?

You got it! This group has five, one for each bug.

Here’s the aviary, where Louis will keep the birds. Which set will make sure each bird gets a partner?

Yes, there are four birds in the aviary, so the set with four birds is a perfect match.

Now all the animals in the zoo have a friend to be with, thanks to your help!



Look at the set of animals below.
