Ask students to hop diagonally across the rug counting by twos, follow the color pattern in order, or count all the faces of one color before moving to the next. A no-prep movement math warm-up that uses the rug's unique layout as the challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Certifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Made in the U.S.A. by Flagship Carpets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Class I Flammability\/Fire Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Anti-slip backing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Scotchgard soil protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Anti-microbial and anti-static treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Indoor air quality certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• Double-stitched nylon edge binding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%; padding: 6px 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003e• CA2999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Flagship Carpets","offers":[{"title":"5' x 7'6","offer_id":40132287266878,"sku":"CA2999-28SG","price":195.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7'6 x 12'","offer_id":40132287299646,"sku":"CA2999-44SG","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0713\/files\/rainbow-smiley-criss-cross-seating-rug-9956136.jpg?v=1774885884","url":"https:\/\/www.sensoryedge.com\/products\/rainbow-happy-face-criss-cross-applesauce-rug","provider":"SensoryEdge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
