Enjoy Mrs. Tina Family Home Activity Page How preschoolers learn the many aspects of math: Most preschoolers, even without guidance from adults, are naturally interested in math as it exists in the world around them. They learn math best by engaging in dynamic, hands-on games and projects. Preschoolers love to ask questions and play games that involve the many aspects of math. The table below lists the key aspects of preschool math, along with simple games and activities you can use to help your child learn them. Math Aspect Games and activities Number sense Count food items at snack time (e.g., 5 crackers, 20 raisins, 10 baby carrots). Use a calendar to count down the days to a birthday or special holiday. Help your child see the connection between a numeral like "5," the word "five," and five days on the calendar. Practice simple addition and subtraction using small toys and blocks. Play simple board games where your child moves a game piece from one position to the next. Geometry Have your child name the shapes of cookie cutters or blocks. Arrange cookie cutters in patterns on a cookie sheet or placemat. A simple pattern might be: star-circle-star-circle. Measurement Let your child help you measure ingredients for a simple recipe preferably a favorite! Measure your child's height every month or so, showing how you use a yardstick or tape measure. Mark his or her height on a "growth chart" or a mark on a door frame. Do the same with any siblings. Help your child compare his or her own height to previous months and also to his or her siblings' heights. Math Talk through games and daily activities that involve math language concepts. Have your child name numbers and shapes. Help him or her understand and express comparisons like more than/less than, bigger/smaller, and near/far. Spatial Play games where you direct your child to jump forward and relations back, to run far from you or stay nearby. Use songs with corresponding movements to teach concepts like in and out, up and down, and round and round.
