My kids learn math the best with the help of math activities and games.
Math can be both easy and difficult to do with older toddlers and preschoolers. Remember our fun
early math game was our Tinker Toy Catapults. Recently they helped some of the Quirky Kids to practice spatial reasoning and then measuring as they launched the items and figured out how far they went! Finding new ways to make math fun and relevant has been a challenge for us.
Math Activities and Games
Here are other math activities I have either done with my kiddos or as is the case of the
lego math worksheets, is on my to-do list for the upcoming school year. I hope these ideas help you with your kiddos.
Develop Spatial Awareness – it is an element of math. The kiddos over at Picklebums had fun learning about balance and physics in their construction projects. At Creativity my Passion the kids had a fun edible
geometry lesson.

I love how this easy to create
dot-to-dot game helps kids learn number progression. Use the “dots” on a dry erase board with a dry erase marker and you can reuse them till the stickers loose their “stickiness”. Another
kids learning activity comes with this bubblegum machine stamp and “dots” math game.
.
Using a different item to count or to pick up the pieces makes the learning more interesting! This momma uses tongs in her
kids math activities. Now if only I could find my salad tongs!
.
I love how the kids cut out their own pizza toppings from images in this
preschool math activity and then decorated a circle cardboard to create a math “paper pizza” – this would be a great way to work on fractions while enjoying a craft project.
.
Gummy worm measuring math. The only problem is that there are never enough gummy worms to measure. Take a bite of the worm and remeasure; what happened? A great subtraction activity.
.
Don’t want to print out a worksheet? Have your kids create their own – teach them
how to solve a number problem with the help of a “spider”. Add the number they are trying to reach in the “body” and have the legs be the solutions to reach the conclusion. This would work even better with algebra.
.
We are planning on digging out our legos tomorrow to do a math activity similar to the worksheets fund on the
Six Kents. This would be great for learning to count by twos! Another math activity is to use playing cards both for adding and subtraction and to help youngsters
learn about means and averages.
.
Want a place to find more resources? Helping Little Hands has a collection of
active math activities and I love the way Michele uses a variety of dice – she has a fun
math-based pinterest page.
.
Cool Math Activities.

s worth picking a car with a sensible range of options, though.
Yet the whole business of going fast was carried out in exemplary Ferrari manner, with refinement to suit the high price tags, along with the most amazingly flexible and versatile engines
and power plants as one no doubt had come to expect from the Maranello built
products. Another auction standout, a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Long Nose Alloy, clad in
Fly Yellow, is just one of 25 lightweight GTBs
built.
There is definately a great deal to know about this
subject. I love all the points you made.
In the United Kingdom nursery school (or “teamwork”) is a form of pre-school education. In the United States is the use of the terms “pre-school” and “pre-K ‘, while the” nursery “is an older term.
The work is organized within the framework of pre-school teachers to create professional. The framework includes structural (administration, class size, and the proportion of the student and the teacher, and services, etc.), process (quality environments classroom, and the interactions between the teacher and the child, etc.), and alignment (standards, curriculum, assessments) components that are associated with each child’s unique kind of individual that has the results of both social and academic. In each age band, it should be the appropriate approach. For example, it would be natural to teach the child how to count to 10 after the age of four. Arguably Foundation opened the first pre-school in 1816 by Robert Owen in New Lanark, Scotland. The Hungarian countess Teresa Brunszvik in the year 1828. In 1837, opened Frederick ?????? and one in Germany, coined the term “kindergarten.”
i like your blog, many interesting ideas.Keep on with the great job!!!!
